390155 - 1M16 - Moore
One of two full length 'Avantilinos', 390155 passes Moore working 1M16 Glasgow Central - London Euston.
Just this and 390156 will gain the full livery with branded coaches, the remaining trains just being vinyl wrapped on the driving coaches. I'm told these 2 sets were more of a PR stunt for the commencing of the franchise and the cost of full vinyls for the remaining 54 sets would be pretty eye watering! If I recall, I remember the X-Men set cost something like £4,000 per coach to vinyl, so it's easy to see why they've gone for the cheaper option.
