Description of ScotRail Railways Livery

The colourful livery of National Express operated ScotRail Railways' was devised by Glasgow based Randak Design Consultants.

A simplified version of the livery was applied to 20 class 156 units at Railcare Glasgow between June and December 2000.

First to appear was 156.449 in mid June 2000.
