I'd like to suggest that where there is a template to provide a colour, the explicit value of the colour should not be listed here. Example: I'm suggesting that

• National Express East Anglia - █ #305E7F ({{tl|NXEA colour}})

should be replaced by

• National Express East Anglia - █ #{{tl|NXEA colour}}

(* National Express East Anglia - █ #{{tl|NXEA colour}})

This will encourage use of the template (and if anyone really needs to know the RGB value, they can open the template.--Dr Greg (talk) 13:03, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

:Fair point. I've made a few modifications to the page to try and encourage their use (but I've kept the RGB values in anyway). --RFBailey (talk) 01:31, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Why is XC red (and same as Virgin and SWT)? Surely it should be pink/purple/move like its livery, branding and website. Btline (talk) 10:52, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

:It is not the same shade of red.

• CrossCountry - █ #C80815

compared to

• South West Trains - █ #FF0000
• Virgin Trains (VWC) - █ #FF0000

Ok, they are slightly different (but at a glance.....!). But my main point still stands. Why is not XC pink/move/purple? Btline (talk) 15:18, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

:Don't know really. Simply south (talk) 17:13, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

As part of my ongoing work on the Scottish Railway lines, I have tabulated and created templated for the scottish colours. A clear definition for the HR and GNoSR colours needs to produced. I have adopted the commonest colour used, although there are several colours being used.

Examples of usage in the Historical Route boxes are provided at WP:HSR#Pre-grouping company colours --Stewart ^(talk) 13:11, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

One colour that I have notices that is missing is a "standard" for British Rail’s Rail Blue. While it isn't of much use in station succession boxes, it would be useful for the title bar of {{tl|Infobox Train}}. Is there already an agreed standard somewhere? If not, I would propose #003366 or #336699, or something in between. Iain Bell (talk) 12:13, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

I really do think the boxs need to be bule after all it's been three years since Southeastern started but we still have yellow in the boxes. I propose LightSteelBule (colour code: B0C4DE) in the boxes which produces this:

{{rail start}}

{{rail line|previous=Dunton Green|route=Southeastern
South Eastern Main Line via Paddock Wood|next=Hildenborough|col=B0C4DE}}

As East Coast (train operating company) starts on the 14th November, I was wondering if the NXEC colour will stay the same with East Coast or should it be changed.Likelife (talk) 16:45, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

{{tlx|NXEA colour}} has been moved to {{tlx|Greater Anglia colour}} and the colour changed. Is it just me or would it not have been better to have retained the old colour and created a new template? Lamberhurst (talk) 21:18, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

I would like to see the colours here Template:WYM_color added to the list if they can be. Is there a reason not for them to be included? Nathan A RF (talk) 20:33, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

Should TfW not be #FF0000 as per their logo, site, trains etc?

It looks like someone has duplicated the Piccadilly line colour onto the East London line. Should it not be #F3BA22? Sorry to point it out and not fix it, but I've no idea how to not mess it up! ShoreditchHighStreet (talk) 22:23, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

Some of these lines are the same colour. Is this a mistake, or are those the actual line colours? Furness804 (talk) 11:23, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
