@transportdsn @samjessupdesign @AbellioRailBus Any idea who designed this? The Current design for the East Midlands franchise under Stagecoach was designed by m360 in Nottingham. Wondering who this new brand was designed by?

🆕 Abellio have unveiled the new look for their East Midlands franchise. EMR - or East Midlands Railway - features a deep purple livery, and three new brands: EMR Intercity, Regional and Electrics. Full story 👉 transportdesigned.com/abellios-new-i…

11:20 is the best guess. Thanks to @Trainhelp1 for their info. If you're gathering at Ilkeston railway station to see the Scotsman, The Junction Cafe (right next to the station) will be open if you want refreshments. #Ilkeston

@Trainhelp1 Thanks! Here's another one for you... twitter.com/ilktrainstatio…

What time on Saturday do you think we can expect to see the Flying Scotsman pass through #Ilkeston station? nottinghampost.com/news/local-new…

Who among you with a "trained" eye can identify which class of locomotives these are? The top is a 222, but the other two?

Hello @AbellioRailBus do you have any information on the design agency you used for the forthcoming East Midlands Railway carriage designs?
