[edit] Photographs

Does anyone have a good photograph of a 175 in their new Arriva livery? David Arthur 16:00, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Which Arriva livery? There's pictures of the green/white one on google but the latest livery (Barbie first with an Ariva sticker on the side) is a bit too recent. There could be some pics on North Wales Coast Railway website but not sure which pages.Naked draughtsman 16:52, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

I think this [1] may be the sort of thing what we're after. I hope to catch one of them and take a nice uncopyrighted picture soon, but all I seem to see on my commute are 158s and the (majority) old livery 175s. Ansbaradigeidfran (talk) 21:59, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Got one: The quality's not fantastic, but it was from a mobile phone, through a window ;) Ansbaradigeidfran (talk) 17:44, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Based on mark 3/4 coach

Are these based on the mark 3 or 4 coach? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.248.222.190 (talk) 09:02, August 24, 2007 (UTC)

They’re from Alstom’s Coradia family — I’ve never heard anything to suggest direct descent from either BR design, though they certainly bear much more resemblance to the Mark IV than the Mark III. David Arthur 14:42, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

All modern trains (other than the Turbostar and Electrostar trains which are based on the Networker) are brand new designs and are not derived from BR designs. Unisouth (talk) 09:41, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
