Nameplate, 390034, VT 19.30 London Euston-Glasgow Central (1S06, 3L), London Euston station
As Virgin work through the Pendolino fleet turning them out
in their new flying silk livery these traditional cast nameplates are removed. They are not reunited with the trains but alternative vinyls are stuck on to the bodysides. This seems a shame as the cast plates maintain a tradition of naming trains properly and making a statement about their identity. I wonder what is happening to the old cast plates? Here at Euston, 390034 'City of Carlisle' waits to leave with the 19.30 to Glasgow Central.
