I agree that the orange and grey livery faded badly but when it is new, it doesn't
look that bad. In my opinion the V/Line Passenger livery is one of the worst
liveries in the world. The livery isn't smooth and the colours don't go well
together. I also hate the font used for the V/Line signs. The old one looked much
better and it stood out clearly. This new one looks terrible. I can't wait for them
to change the livery. On the other hand, WCR have one of the best liveries I have
ever seen. Their colours go well together and the large W is a very clear symbol
that really stands out. V/Line passenger don't even use the V/ anymore!
