The Name is Bond, James Bond

At Doncaster railway station a couple of days ago, changing trains, I spotted this locomotive arriving on a London to York service. It has become quite fashionable to decorate trains with vinyl illustrations, and East Coast have recently had this decoration applied in conjunction with the launch of the Skyfall DVD. It is proving extremely popular too, with quite a few others at the station taking shots of it.

For anyone interested in seeing an earlier East Coast locomotive decorated, see my solo project - http://365project.org/if1/365/2012-06-08

Haven't seen a train like this before. Looks great - and a good film :)

Hi, I saw this coming through Hertfordshire on the way to Kings Cross the other day, brilliant advertising

[Bob]

Cool 007 advertising on this train. Denver light rail cars sell advertisements and some are quite clever. I'll try to capture some in the future.

[Therese]

Ohhhh, awesome!!!! Love it... ! :D

[Jacqui Paterson]

Very cool train. Nice shot.

[bruni]

Wow I like the 007 Skyfall advertising on the train. so cool.
when back to your collage of June 2012 and was surprised that a comment of mine was on it. there you see how times flies, didn't realize I followed you already then.

[Junan Heath]

Fabulous train shot! and Skyfall is a great movie! :)

[Hazel A]

Great capture. Does this one go all the way through to Edinburgh?

[Ross]

I have never seen advertising on trains other than the the names 'Aviva or Great Western' here . Great pic and title and what a way to advertise, if it works on buses why not a train :-)

[CabinFest]

Gee - that doesn't happen here yet. I guess it's only a matter of time!

[bkb in the city]

Great catch Ian. They do something like this with our public transit buses here

[Graham Thresher]

How brilliant. Great capture.

[Marg Jorgensen]

Well caught esp if it was moving.

Thank you Hazel - yes it does work through to Edinburgh, but on this particular day it was on a slower train to York before returning south to London.

@rossevs

Thank you Ross - this was only decorated about a month ago, and all the coaches were done too. There are quite a few local trains with pictures of tourist attractions across northern England displayed on them that are operated by Northern Rail in this area too.
