EMT.

XC would have been up there if they'd done what was on their site... Brown noses?

[richard222]

Although I like EMTs livery I have to say I wonder what person decided that 153s are 'Outer Suburban' Units. Surely they deserve a new colour scheme. IMO the desiro blue looks repulsive on 153sa.

[arabiandisco]

The XC would be a lot better with a better front end.

EMT doesn't really show any imagination, as it's exactly the same as SWT, but then it wasn't broken, so didn't really need fixing.

LM isn't that great.

LondonMidland. Quite sleek and smooth when compared with the 'LEGO' XCT and unimpressive EMT livery.

Possibly the CrossCountry, but they are all very good shots.

EMT is blatant copying of SWT

Stagecoach really are a case of cut money off where people don't notice. FGW are the opposite. Lets cut money off where people do notice.

The XC mock-up livery looked good but that looks horrible, EMT has no imagination. LM looks very nice. Unfortunatly, living down south means i'll have to put with brown nosed Voyagers.

I live in Bucks and I normally travel through the pleasently-painted Chiltern, though LMR is an intresting comparison to VWC and Silverlink.

and their buses as well as they are fairly similar to the EMT livery (on the 222s) and livery on the SWT 444

Hold on, to right its a copy of SWT, ITS THE SAME COMPANY (sort of)!!! and as for FGW being opersite, they are part of FIRST which last time i looked had the same Neon style liv on all thier franchises. FGW, FCC & TPE all use neon liv, with very slight diffrences, same as SWT v EMT.

I have to say that I like the EMT livery best (although not sure about the 153) - maybe it's because I'm so used to SWT, but the XC one looked appalling.

That London Midland livery is awful! What they need is a nice, cheerful red - not too bright, so that it's durable, so say a rich crimson colour. Simple colour schemes are in these days, so no secondary colour, but so that the stock is not too plain I suggest a line running along the side just above and below the windows in a colour that brings it a bit of class: say, gold/black? And I always liked the crest/roundel on GNER stock, so I recommend a similar roundel on the new livery with 'London Midland' imagery.

Actually, I see that someone has already mocked up what this very modern, classy but dignified colour scheme might look like:

Arriva Cross Country's livery is the best out of the three,
