Greater Anglia has unveiled a special livery on a regional train dedicated to fallen veterans in armed conflicts, and all those who give so much in service of their country, ahead of Remembrance Day.
The livery has been launched during the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal which will see poppies on sale at a number of Greater Anglia stations across the rail network in East Anglia.
The livery, which has been applied to a Stadler-built ‘class 755’ regional bi-mode train (number 755414), includes the words ‘Lest We Forget’ surrounded by poppies, towards both ends and on both sides of the four-carriage train.
The livery will remain on the train year-round as it operates services between Ipswich and Felixstowe, Lowestoft, Cambridge and Peterborough; between Norwich and Cambridge/Stansted Airport, Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft and Sheringham; and between Marks Tey and Sudbury.
The new livery also includes more poppies towards the front of the train and was launched at a special ceremony at Norwich station on Thursday 31 October. Local retired veterans and representatives from the Royal British Legion joined Greater Anglia staff members, many of whom are former military personnel.
