Another distinct feature of the Island Line is of course the livery carried by these units. This is probably one of the most eye-catching of even todays multi-coloured trains and comes about essentially because the Isle of Wight is very much a family holiday island. Having the trains in a 'dinosaur' livery is clearly going to be more appealing to the kids...and people like us...than just having them in another corporate colour scheme. The place is Smallbrook Junction and the date is the 30th August 2003.
