East Coast has joined forces with film company 20th Century Fox to promote the release of the new James Bond Skyfall film on DVD, but wrapping an entire Mk4 set in 007 livery.
The branding, which will last for around two months, portrays the stars of the film on the Class 91 and DVT, with the Mk4 coaches being branded Skyfall and having a large 007 logo. The locomotive chosen, not unsurprisingly 91107, has been renumbered to 91007, and is likely to gain the Skyfall name permanently.
After a media launch at London King's Cross, the train formed a special 08:33 working to Edinburgh Waverley, before entering traffic on 18th February on the 05:40 Edinburgh to London 'Flying Scotsman' service.
