The locos (most) have their own silver livery. There are currently several trains in both directions every day, although a couple of trains were dropped earlier this year.

To add to that, they are getting their own stock once it is ready, which will have wi-fi and laptop sockets at every seat, aswell as a refurbished interior and a nice new livery.

The coaches completion is currently running about a year late though.
