Yeah, it's the new Cross Country livery.

From the limited view that I had the yellow paint under and red to the sides the driver's window looked very similar to the Greater Anglia livery at the front, but the units didn't look like the class 755 that GA run. I now realise that they were repainted XC 170s.

I was once told every factual book has at least one error in so anyone copying it would be found out. Not sure if that is correct but it seems right with The Lost Railways of Yorkshire's West Riding: Harrogate and the North which in its second paragraph incredibly puts Harrogate in the North Riding, followed a couple of pages later by referring to the 1865 station at Arthington as remaining open; its been closed for 60 years.

Yeah, if you know your stuff and go through it all with a fine toothed comb, you will always find something, no matter how tiny
