Found: www.reddit.com/r/uktrains/c... While talking about GBR, I found these amazing Mockups on Reddit, Giving each region different colours while keeping the GBR Branding! At the top there's also a redo of the current GBR livery! These are really good and personally better!

Taken by Simon Abrams on Facebook "For those who couldn't view my previous video here is the first set to have the new GBR livery applied. A GTR 387/1." x.com/i/status/205... The first GBR Branded train is nearly complete. Guess soon we won't be able to say "Great Northern" due to the Rebrand 😢

The Union Jack for the new GBR logo and train livery? With a disappointed sigh I say we’ll just have to get used to it.

I was at the Greatest Gathering on Saturday!!! I met Francis Bourgeois but didn't say hi or get a picture with him as he was busy filming with Chris Harris so I can't wait for that Overall it was a once in a life time experience (literally won't happen for 100 years) and I'll never forget it! :D

Just remembering the day I Chased 45118 and 47593 from Chesterfield to London and back, managing to see it passing Loughborough, shame it got held at a yellow. I saw it depart London then I got on 222018 (I think I'm correct) and beat it at Chesterfield by 2+ Hours! youtu.be/4Oldg2T7WGA?...
