700 155 Alexandra Palace 28.5.20
Quite literally the ‘Pride’ of the Thameslink fleet, ‘Trainbow’ 700 155 looks magnificent as it heads north on the Up Fast past Alexandra Palace with a service from Horsham to Peterborough. The proliferation of special-liveried trains celebrating LGBTQ+ people across the world was designed to offer a chance for all to support diverse communities and an opportunity to start new discussions. In 2020, during the Lockdowns, the cancellation of many Pride events saw trains with Pride-themed rainbows created by many train companies to show their support for LGBTQ+ staff, passengers and the communities that they serve. Staff member Mags Luckhurst designed the colour scheme for 700 155, a welcome burst of colour for the predominantly white Thameslink fleet.
