London North Western 350249 sits in one of the bay

platforms at Northampton station waiting its next turn of duty. I sincerely hope that these Desiros do not get painted into the horrendous purple mess of a livery that some graphic designer has come up with for the company. This former London Midland livery still looks fresh and smart, why not just re-brand this, it would save repainting the station fittings and signs too!
