i have just come back from gravesend train station where i saw a class 465 in an all over navy blue looking colour with white doors and the warning panels....

i thought this may be an advertising livery but from where i was i could see no graphics nor much if any writing however i do think there was writing on the carraige sides...

what is going on..
we already have 3 liveries in this area... 6 if you count the vandalised examples.....

Was it 465215 by any chance? That has just been re-painted (re-vinyled) in some dark blue advertising liverly for some airline.

i would have thought that SRA and southeastern trains would not have put a new livery at the moment look at the cost it could all change in a years time
more likely its a train thats been brought in to replace stock and came in that colour

but ALL networkers calss 465 and 466 are operated by south eastern trains ...so it never came from some one else....
minfd you i remember one 465 that was out of service...it may have been returned in the livery but it makes no sense..

465215 is painted in Continental Airlines Advertising livery of Royal blue with gold writing - every time I have seen it so far, it has been working diagrams out of Victoria, so as a rolling billboard working in the catchment area for Heathrow and Gatwick, I would say that the livery is relevant. It is also carried by a Class 319/2 (as shown in a seperate thread).

I have seen this unit in Charing Cross station last week. American Airlines I think though, could be wrong. Definately blue and white though...
