I'm wondering if the person or group who designed it had anything to do with MML's new colour scheme, that even they admit was a mistake, but naturally its too late to do anything about it. Its the last point that makes me hate it when people say "you can't critisise (even constructivly) until you've tried it/seen the finished thing", as I know so often it means, "you can't critisise until its too late to make any real changes".
On the subject of Sky One, its not the only referance to "one" that I've seen that is similar to "one" rail. Then again, companies these days are to stupid to come up with their own brands, logos and images, only so far as to avoid copyright theft.

Dont blame them! Painting bogies is possibly THE worst paint-related job on locos/rolling stock ;)
