Train Information

The FGW fleet were originally painted Green with a Gold bodyside band to match the Night Riviera stock with cast name and numberplates. All four locomotives were named after Castles in Devon and Cornwall, and operate mainly on the Night Riviera sleeper service with the occasional stock move. From March 2008 the fleet started to receive FGW's Blue livery, with 57605 the first repainted. In June 2010 57604 received a repaint into lined Brunswick Green livery to commemorate the 175th anniversary of the Great Western Railway.
