There is a yellow side and a grey side. I'm not massively sold on it to be honest - a bit too much like an advertising livery. The front ends look the same as before from these pictures. I hope they've at least taken the chance to re-vinyl these as well. Still, at least it's going to massively improve the external cleanliness of the fleet.

I can see what you mean about the advertising livery. I think the concept of showing the different reasons why people use the train is a good advert and a clever concept.
The MD has claimed that the first two units in the new livery will be in use from Monday on the Ormskirk and Chester routes.
Some more pictures and info in the Globe, seemingly the first local newspaper to put an article up:

I hope someone is going to add an apostrophe to the "Shop Till You Drop" header before they leave the depot.
In all fairness to Merseyrail, that looks like correct English to me. There would be no need to add an apostrophe to 'till' because it isn't a truncation of the word 'until'. A brief explanation
here.
The correct English would be "shop 'til you drop" using an apostrophe and dropping an l.

As the link explains, 'till' is correct. It is the word from which 'until' was derived. If anything, 'til is non-standard usage arising from a misunderstanding and could be considered wrong.
FL Class 66's and 70's are on the engineering work duties.
New livery just too fussy and complicated for my liking!
