Another 80's odd ball livery was carried by IS 37 146 - half way between std BR Blue and L/L Blue. Blue body/roof , but with the yellow nose ends extended around to the cabs sides - as per L/L. However nose bonnet tops/window surrounds remained blue - not black as per usual L/L. It did however carry large logo no's in the normal place, black headcode boxes, small std sized arrows and Highland Rail Stags. Perhaps it was urgently required for traffic before the re-paint job was fully completed ?

When first introduced, the REPs appeared in overall rail blue livery with small yellow warning panels and small aluminum BR arrows below their side cab windows. The yellow warning panels were subsequently enlarged to cover the whole cab front. They were repainted during the early 1970s into blue and grey, losing their aluminum arrows in the process, as these had been the cause of damage to carriage washing plants; the 1974 builds emerged in blue and grey livery from new. Surviving REPs saw an application of Network SouthEast flashes from 1986 onwards, while the Class 442 "Wessex Electrics" were being built.
