As well as a specially-designed livery, the Class 91 locomotive has also been renumbered 91007 to mark the event.

I haven't watchd Skyfall yet, so I don't know how much the East Coast is involved in the film. I suppose having locos in different livery gives a bit of variety for passengers.

Presumably it's a publicity stunt. I wonder how much it cost East Coast and if they had to pay the VIPsto attend?

I cn't make out if it's just the loco that has been done or there's a special train that they're going to regularly run

“It’s really exciting to launch an East Coast train as Skyfall and I am sure our customers will look forward to travelling on it too.”"
Unless thre's anything special about the ride and service that passengers are going to get, I can't see the passengers giving a toss about what loco is pulling the train as long as it gets them there. (unless it's a steam train, of course

The whole unit has been covered with the vinyl graphic, looks really rather good! I think this is a fantastic idea and also is a good way to generate more money.
