Brilliant!

Seeing the Metro parts reminds me, I've got a photo at work taken a few years ago in the Depot with "Sunderland" on the destination board and "073" on digital despatch number.

It was the first refurb train back, and a photocall was held to rename it "Harry Cowans", one of the Depot train maintenance crew was a Sunderland fan and deliberately put those on.

Photographs made it into the Chron and some of the train trade magazines with the Family in front of the train and "Sunderland" and "73" in perfect view. Not on person at the event had made the connection, I was a bit too busy doing the in-house video stuff to take much notice, wasn't until the end when I overheard a few of the Depot lads talking about it.

Found the video evidence! Check out the video link below at 1min 26seconds and you can see "073" in the shot.
