       @pony Ah that was a requirement. I thought it was an aesthetic like the red and beige of the Czech (or more broadly Austro-Hungarian?) trams.

       @krozruch yes it actually was mandatory until 2016 or something, the usual explanation is they got rid of it because of crossrail, which is legally a railway, but the TfL would like to present it as a tubetrams were traditionally red-white-ish until 1990's, then each transit authority went with what they liked, Prague and Brno kept the red, but modernized it a little, but not everyone, Ostrava repainted it all to blue, Plzeň went with yellow...

       @pony not sure I've been in the UK since 2016 - ah yes but no trains. Still not been to Plzen or Ostrava. Liberec had a different scheme if I recall.

       @krozruch yes. i'm now wondering how far the tradition goes, problem is you don't get many color pictures from the past :) buses surely were red-ish post war

       @pony Is this one of the bi-modes, or is it the front staircase for tunnel compliance, or is it that it's running at Velim test center?

       @coryw nah, it's just non-yellow frontbut yeah, that could be another oddity, it's not tested in Velim, but on Siemens own test-track at Wegberg-Wildenrath
