Paintwork

What colour is the paintwork?

The interior colour scheme departs from the conventional L.T. red and green upholstery and matching paintwork, which has been replaced by a maroon and grey moquette with dove grey paint below the waist rail.

At night, some nap on their stretchers. High up on a wall, stuck to peeling paintwork, are photographs of eight drivers killed in service.

Despite somewhat faded paintwork, 87017 Iron Duke is clearly very much operational, as confirmed here on September 4.
