New Green C2C stock

tmba · New Green C2C stock

I was on my way from Barking to East Ham at about 11 oclock today and noticed an Electrostar painted in green with the words
'This is the new green C2C'
So maybe C2C are gonna paint all their stock in this colour Shocked

If I can get some pictures I will post them for you.

Was just thinking (dangerous I know), could it have been 357028 being prepared to promote the regenaritive (sp) braking (ie putting some of the electicity back into the system as per Pendies etc)?

It was definately a 4 car Electrostar painted green, I didnt notice it saying Regen or anything else, maybe it was on t'other side of unit, it was being shunted in East Ham depot when I saw it and never saw it on the return journey and it wasnt around yesterday (sat) morning.

Saw it today but never had me camera out handy, it says on the side -

'C2C is the greener way to go'

So I think maybe it's just gonna be that unit Laughing

I will however try and get a photo this week Very Happy

I will be back that way as soon as possible and travel the line again, but at present, I can't go far at all and due to badly trapped nerve in my back. Ouch! Rolling Eyes

Have been off-line for nearly 2 weeks now due to computer problems, but am now back.

I did eventually get to see the video with Mr. Lamport on it and the Echo website, but never heard what was said on it.
