European Railroad Discussion > Will the real Flying Scotsman please stand up...Date: 11/14/15 04:13 Will the real Flying Scotsman please stand up... Author: 55002 Virgin Trains East Coast recently outshopped class 91, 91101, in a new version of the Flying Scotsman livery.
It does look good, seen here at Kings Cross, London, working the 19:00 to Edinburgh. Chris uk.   Date: 11/14/15 21:02 Re: Will the real Flying Scotsman please stand up... Author: wheelnrail Looks way better than that god awful purple one East Coast did.

Author: spflow I agree this is better than the last East Coast attempt, but it is still a typcally trashy Virgin exercise in putting style over content and an attempt to cash in on the "heritage" theme in a vacuous fashion. At least GNER, who also exploited the Flying Scotsman idea, did so in a tasteful and stylish manner with the quailty of their offering more closely matching the hype.
