317 EMU in the 'Striking New Livery'
A 317 travelling ECS to Pitsea on LTS Rail. When they got their first units (317 301-3), LTS Rail made a big thing of the colours. They ran it to Shoeburyness at night so the punters didn't see it, and then used it on their busiest service. Unfortunately nobody noticed the paint job, and the passengers all complained about the lack of seats. These were the same passengers that demanded the end of the 302, 310 and 312's. Go figure!
