Midland Classic 10 on Rail Replacement
To make up for the previous week, where I narrowly missed a Midland Classic (to the point I saw it leave as I arrived), I went and got this week's Midland Classic rail replacement bus twice. While it went and did its thing at Beeston Station, I dashed over to the Thane Rd/Humber Rd roundabout outside the Boots entrance to see it for a second time. I didn't have a long wait, and so here is Midland Classic MCV Evora 10 passing the entrance to the Boots site in Beeston and about to turn up Thane Road for its run to East Midlands Parkway.
I like what they've done with the livery on this, as some clever shaping of the red and black around the front almost mimics a Wright Eclipse, but hides the awkwardly styled front end of the Evora that really needs a few things going on livery-wise to look decent. If done right it looks really good, but there's a lot of potential to get it looking awful too... Midland Classic, however, have got it right.
