Anyone know where the 170s are being repainted, and what the colour 
standards for the Blue and Magenta colours are?

TIA

I believe units from the first batch (170401-424) are being repainted
by Bombardier at Ilford.

The later units are being wrapped in vinyl at Inverness TMD.

That explains what 170418 was doing at Stratford on 6th July; it was
heading towards Ilford when I saw it. I thought that there had to be a
logical explanation!
