This is an all-new version of an earlier image, which was inspired by the work of another Flickr user (link attached). None of Class 55s carried the large logo livery depicted and it is questionable whether this scheme would have done them any favours. This version features blue - rather than yellow - cab doors, providing a better balance between the two principal colours and also a larger logo with contra vision over the engine room window. Historically, this livery fits between the standard rail blue livery and the InterCity 'striped' style that would have suited the proportions of the body better (updated 20-Aug-21).
