156 » Current Scene Fleet Survey Liveries Time-Line News Namings CRP Branding |
During the second half of 2007 three of One Railway's class 156s units received branding promoting the local Community Rail Partnerships.
The branding was applied on top of the existing 'one' livery.
The units had been given an interior upgrade with new seat covers and carpets. The tables tops also feature promotional graphics.
Funding towards the interior work on the class 156 fleet had come from Norfolk and Suffolk County Councils, as well as Chapelfield Shopping Centre which sponsored unit 156402.
Since the change of name from 'One Railway' to 'National Express East Anglia', there have been detail changes to the livery.
