While I am not a big fan of private TOC's I must admit that some of them have very nice liveries.
My favourite being c2c with First group next. What are your preferences?

First Group like; what the Adelante fleet have. for the current six-month period. Honestly, if they had spent all the money for FOUR livery changes on improving the service they would not still be near the bottom of the performance leagues.  |

I quite liked GNER's until they were forced to paint all their doors luminous orange (not that I don't understand why).

EU-wide regulations state that doors must have a contrasting colour to the rest of the vehicle, in order to make it easier for visually impaired people to find their way. Remember, quite a few of those who are technically blind have some sight left, and can actually cope very well on their own if they get a bit of help such as this. |

I like the Chiltern livery - it's nice and clean and simple.

GNER's livery was good pre-door highlights, but I still think the orange doors on the mallard sets look quite good!
Not sure about the HSTs though... and the White Roses with Red doors on random crew access doors... hmm!

My local operator (WAGN) has such a variety. From the white undercoat Class 313s, to the Purple 313s & 317s, to the Notwork Southeast 365s and now a 365 with some all-over advert (haven't caught what it says yet).
I'm with Colin though, but will add that I prefer a purple one to turn up as it has more chance of going the whole trip.
