LIVERY SUMMARY:
  • Despite the base livery being a consistent silver base, with green roof and green/grey bodyside ‘swooshes’ since delivery, there have been several variations on logos/branding.
  • Initially branded ‘Intercity’, using the flowing ribbon version of the logo, the A1 DRBFO cars carried ‘First’ on the doors. Individual vehicle numbering was indicated by use of numbers in the 22xxx range
  • ‘First’ branding was then replaced by ‘Premier’ branding on the A1 DRBFO cars.
  • ‘Bowling Ball’ set numbers on the front of the DMSO and DRBFO briefly replaced individual vehicle numbering.
  • Post-2013, ‘Intercity’ branding was replaced by Iarnród Éireann/Irish Rail branding, with 22xxx vehicle numbering.
  • Post-2015, full UIC numbering began to be featured on the vehicle sides, with 22xxx in black, and the prefix/suffix numbering in white. The DMSO and DRBFO cars carried 22xxx in black, with a two figure prefix in white, on the front.
  • Post-2020, blue door vinyls with large white accessibility icons began to feature on sets.
  • Little use of body wrap advertising vinyls has been made, although ‘Big Music Week’ and ‘Hotel Transylvannia’ have featured, along with MTA branding for film work.
