The choice of yellow may have been influenced by the need to operate over NR tracks, and not just the obvious tube routes, but occasionally, in the past, on other jobs. LU service trains have traditionally been yellow, not just on the front ends but all over. See for example the tunnel cleaning train. I dispute that. They were traditonally maroon or grey or green. Yellow is relatively new, I'd be 99% sure they never used yellow until well after BR started. DL81 -83 came to Lu in ?1969 ? 1970 ? and they were green not a shade of a yellow panel on them. Yes, some have been yellow for a long time now, but ''traditional'' no. -- Nick |
