British Railways Type 4 1Co-Co1 D125 is seen departing Platform 9 on a New Street to Cardiff express service on Thursday 30th July 1964. The second coach is in the new 'BR' corporate colour scheme of Rail Blue with a 44 inch Pearl Grey (BS 2660-9-095) horizontal panel centered vertically on the main windows, this being outlined by a narrow white line. This grey panel finished just short of the end of the coach leaving a small amount of Rail Blue which then continued round onto the end of the coach. Roofs were Dark Grey and underframes originally brown, but later black.
