Anglia have liveried trains for the Bittern line, East Suffolk line
etc, but I've only ever seen them on the wrong lines!


Odd you should mention that... this morning one of the Fen Line GN
trains was liveried "Gatwick Express". Which more different to the plain
livery than the straying GA Stansted Express ones (which are at least
the correct side of the river).


Apparently six GatEx 387s have been loaned to GN as temporary 365
replacements.


They are having shuffle, then, because we've not seen 365s on the Fen
line for a couple of years. AIUI they are only used in peak periods to
Peterborough. But with a reduced timetable (now coming to an end)
there'd be less demand for those, so must have sent at least one 387 up
to Kings Lynn and back.

But not for the first time, apparently, here's a similarly liveried (not
the bright Orange version) last August:

In the medium term, the GA 379s or the cw2c 387s are the more likely
replacements.
