All four of the Hull Trains class 222's have been transferred to East Midlands Trains and replaced by the Class 180 "ADELANTE or CORADIA 1000" units no's 180 109/110/111/113. 180 113 is the unit in the photo. Hull Trains is now First Hull Trains since being taken over by Firstgroup, hence the blue livery, I don't know if those four 180 units will get re-painted or new vinyls in the Green colour scheme or not.

Regards, 62440.

The one thing that stands out since "privatisation" is the amount of ongoing work for paint and vinyl manufacturers. Some DMU's might have seen as many as five colour changes in the last 10 years.

Looking at the blue livery, I'm not sue that there was that much yellow in evidence but that picture is a 170 turbostar isn't it. Maybe the 222 meridians have a smaller area of yellow.
I suppose this would answer my original question though. Looks like it would have been a Hull Trains unit.
Thanks.
