Thameslink News shown top to bottom in reverse date order |
In conjunction with the resumption (on 16th May 2005) of the through working of Thameslink Services the class 319/4 fleet is now undergoing a "substantial refreshment" involving, amongst other things, re-upholstering of the seats, toilets being re-decorated in anti-vandal paint, recovered tables in 1st, new internal trim, new automatic door gear, a mechanical and electrical upgrade and traction motors being protected against very wet and snowy conditions. Thameslink are also introducing a new silver and blue livery which is believed to be applied by vinyl overlays. Southern class 319/0s are also having a complete refurbishment and were initially reported to be going into Thameslink livery but 319004 has recently been spotted on the West Coast main line carrying Southern livery. |

One wonders if Selhurst had been doing
livery experiments prior to a new livery for Thameslink being settled on. Here is
319010 in a plain blue livery that is neither a base for the old or new Thameslink
liveries.
