    I doubt its Lyd in Southern livery, since the lining on that is a single yellow line bordering the green/black panel interface, rather than the double lining seemingly chalked out within the green. Could it be Lyd being repainted into BR green livery? (Fatuous wind-up suggestion, I hasten to add)

    It's chalk, not lining. Looked to me like they were lining out the area to put the SOUTHERN decals on the tanks...

    The lining normally goes between the chalk lines.
