Junctionmad Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 can anyone fill me in on the corporate colours on stations from 1970 onwards.??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhb171achill Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 During the late 60s, 70s, and into the 80s CIE had shades of grey, black and white almost universally. Mostly grey! Early 90s was a garish blue, often with red, which looked ghastly on traditional architecture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junctionmad Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 when did the green arrive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhb171achill Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 If you mean the original green (and cream), junctionmad, this dated from GSR days, and therefore was first seen about 1925/6. This was the absolute standard not just on the GSR, but the GSWR before it for a whole, and the NCC and UTA also had green paint schemes. The last CIE green stations would have been repainted grey in the late 1960s. If you mean the more recent green, similar DART shade, I'm not certain as I've been a bit lax recording dates of some of the most recent livery developments. If you mean the more recent DARK green, again I'm not totally certain! Early 2000s I'd think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
