Oh and to finish up on #TrainPride and #Trainbows, I'm citing Wikipedia here:

"As of January 2024, the only British train operating companies (TOCs) that have not have trainbows are: Northern, Transport for Wales Rail, Hull Trains, CrossCountry, Merseyrail, Grand Central, West Midlands Railway, Caledonian Sleeper and Eurostar. When inquired, TfW Rail has said it has no plans to introduce trainbows on its train in the near future. "

I also managed to track down London NorthWestern but can't tell you the class registration (sorry. I failed as a geek! 😭).
Again, going understated.

LNER went high-speed too with a Class 801 "Azuma". I've got to admit this is a nice one

The Elizabeth Line got in on the act with their Class 345
