You may have noticed LU's battery maintenance locos do have yellow panels...


Chickens and eggs? The choice of yellow may have been influenced by
the need to operate over NR tracks, and not just the obvious tube

LU service trains have traditionally been yellow, not just on the
front ends but all over. See for example the tunnel cleaning train.
