170 208 (The Brecks)

The final unit of the eight 3 coach Turbostar units built for East Anglia at the end of the 1990's, 170 208 operated with its classmates on duties including mainline runs between Norwich and London. What made it one of my favorite units was when it was given an advertising livery for the Brecks, an area of Natural beauty near the Norfolk/Suffolk border, thus promoting the Brecks countryside.

This livery made the unit easy to identify so I decided to create this album containing photos of 170 208 with its Brecks advertising livery.
