I saw a 201 at york rd today with a different livery . appeared silver with a thick black stripe. Was driving so no photo! Whats the story with the livery ?

It's an unfinished version of the new Enterprise livery. There should be photos of one of the finished locos in some of the links in the prototype photo section:

Indeed, 206 is in the more complete livery, as seen at Portarlington:

8208 is the next one, currently in the works at Inchicore.

 

Visually it is not bad at all. The black might have been better as a dark grey to better contrast with the maroon. However, I'm not a fan of wavy patterns on trains. Passenger trains look better with horizontal colour schemes in harmony with their longitudinal shape and should be bi-directional.

Thankfully I'm long past the psychedelic age, whether this is good or bad is entirely up to the individual, so what the hell is wrong with Green, & maybe Tan, or Black & Tan, or all Black, or all Gray, I say get it & paint it the colour you want,
