The Pacer Livery Debate - Free Poll available

[pacer-pete]

The Pacer Preservation Society has just launched a livery poll on its website http://pacer-preservation.webs.com.

Which livery would you like to see a Pacer railbus preserved in? Have your say today!

Also, the PPS site has been revamped again and all comments/suggestions are welcome

Cheers for that - Just voted

Mine would have to be, if possible, 142001 in the now exstinct North Western Trains / First North Western / FGW Livery...Why, Personnaly, i think they've never looked as smart in any other livery! (With the exception of RR)

Regional Railways for me, Can't see why Northern Rail has had 30 votes..but if it was on the list for me it would be Valley Lines every day of the week

I went with GMPTE Orange (I notice GMPTE Grey is missing off the list as is the Tyne & Wear livery), though I do like the provincial livery.

I figured we should preserve 4 or 5, each in a different livery. Though if that couldn't be done do a half and half with one side in one livery and the other side in a different one. Airlines have managed it in the past (Northwest & KLM spring to mind) and a few loco's have had double paint jobs I believe - thinking along the lines of a 47?

I can see what you mean mate - the Pizza box livery is very eye-catching. Didn't include Valley Lines in the options simply because I forgot about it! And just to point out, the poll shows % rather than actual voting numbers so its probably not 30 votes, rather 30% of the votes

Updated the poll - if you have voted, please vote again because I cant transfer votes across. http://pacer-preservation.webs.com

Just voted. Valley Lines livery for me

The list is still missing the Cornish "Skipper" brown/cream livery, Northern Spirit livery and the previously mentioned GMPTE Grey/red/white livery.

I've voted for the original Provincial Services blue livery.

 

[Crimson_Quiff]

I've voted GMPTE Orange all the way! Although I quite like the Provincial Blue too!

 

[HST Power]

Has to be Tyne and Wear for me.

To be honest, it would depend on the class of pacer for me.

Class 142: Regional Railways
Class 143: Valley Lines - red, green & white
Class 144: Metro - red & cream. (Although RR did look nice on them)

 

[HSTEd]

Is there a way to vote for WYPTE Red and Cream?, I like it but I'm not up on terminology from that era.

Not carried on the 142s - 144s only, but it in terms of 144s then it could be added...

Although it was a poor attempt at 'GWR' livery, the Cornish 'skipper' livery for me (I did notice it wasn't a choice on the poll by the way!), one good thing about their 'failure' down this way we got a few extra years of 'Heritage' DMU's , no matter how 'rat bag' of a collection it was!

The one I like the most isn't on there - a 143 in Visit Bristol advertising livery, but of the ones there I went for Regional Railways.
