Description

The new fleet of deisel & electric power on Britains railways carried distinctive, and in many cases short lived liveries. The era of green gave way to corporate blue, which in turn was replaced by a host of new colour schemes in the 1980s and 1990s.

In this programme we chart these changes using a remarkable selection of archive from the 1950s and 1960s through to the sectorisation of the pre privatisation era.
