Monorail Refurbishment
What another vending machine fire? I didnt realise there was a vending machine in the train storage area….. wait news update new for 2023 vending machines at the monorail park….. oh dearMight be best to use fire to get the vinyl off. Just to make sure.

Yeah, let's try to avoid Towets Street 2017 and 2018 repaint now.Please, no more purple.
Damn it looks ugly nowadays. Who thought using primary colors was a good idea. It was fine as it was.

He’s still alive don’t worry!Here is a question, sorry to off topic, but what ever did happen to Diogo? Hope everything is OK. I did message him but radio silence.
I am hopefully optimistic about a refurb under this new sort of Merlin. But in reality I doubt it will amount to much.
I think the problem is if you took the vinyls off you would more than likely have to replace every single window, as they are probably away by now anyway. Or you’ll be there all day trying to clean the old windows
I would love to see that happen, you could even re vinyl the trains so they have their own themes but I would leave the windows blank, just theme them to look like it’s got windows.

@Matt.GC, saw this and thought of you. I know how much you love the purple repaints.

I think that looks nice, actually!
Also, I’d argue that that looks blue rather than purple… although I seem to remember that we had this debate before and it was conclusively settled as purple by the team, so I’m probably wrong there.

It will certainly be an improvement, but there is no denying that purple seems to be their colour of choice at the moment.
Probably got a good deal from the local diy wholesaler ….. this paint, WD40 and some mdf on the cheap

It does look rather nice yet many others don't like purple being all over the place.
That said, I can sort of see what their thinking is is that they want to create a uniform image of purple everywhere though it might be a little much for some. I have no doubt that if they were to overhaul or gain new monorail trains (haha!) Then they would be in purple too with perhaps a neat golden lining on them. Anyone want to do a photoshop job of that?
That all said, the station was long overdue for a repaint so it's good to see them doing this.
