I thought i saw an LO-liveried train at Ilford depot on saturday. I was
passing through, looked out of the window, and saw a train of modern
design, painted white, with an orange strip above the windows. I was on
the wrong side of the carriage, and reacting too slowly, to get a look
at the space below the windows, so it could have been something else
entirely.

Might well have been something else entirely, I dunno.

Anyway Tom Page took this picture of what I think is a class 313 train
at Highbury & Islington - it just has a simple sticker on the side of
the train stating "London Overground" in New Johnson type on a white
background.

Yes, i saw that after posting. Hmm.

The thing i saw actually looked rather like this:

So perhaps it was a Eurostar. Don't know why one of those would be in
Ilford, though. I don't think any One trains are liveried anything like
that.

I don't see there as being any great need to re-livery these trains as
they'll start to be replaced sometime next year (or is it 2009?) anyway.

My theory was that it was a trial of some new livery planned for the
eventual new stock. Although that would seem like an odd thing to do.
