Current W Class Green WAS: 983

The great shots of 983 freshly painted has raised a question that may be able to be answered here.

When the decision was taken in the mid 1990's to paint the remaining normal service W's to the green and cream with lining, etc, did they return to the Hawthorn Green of the 1930-1950's period, or the Tramway Green of the 1960's and '70's, or even the Green used with the gold on the 1980's 'Met' livery (was it 'Olympic Green'??)

Looking at 983, the green seems a little darker than the hawthorn green used on the cars in the 1950's, before the end of gold lining and cream below the window sill.

Look forward to some discussion...

Hi Guys,

With all the chat about 983, thought I's send a couple of shots of her whilst I've been training staff on her.
