Northumbria Rail e57 Livery 1975-1979

Northumbrian Railways Rebranded to Northumbria Rail in 1975, along with the rebrand came BR style liveries and logo.
NR introduced a new variant of the e57 which was designated 'Bernicia' This variant's driver's cabin was halved in size
to accommidate a small kitchen in the end cars. The original polish configuration was designated 'Deria'.
The new Bernicia variant was outfitted for longer journeys hence the addition of a kitchen in the end car, the Bernica can be indentified
by the lack of a center window on the front. While the Deria would continue up to the modern day, the Bernica was voted to put out of service
when the fleet was overhauled in 1980 by the NRCC.
