railsquid Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 FWIW the blue and cream livery as applied to multiple units like this: rear-viaduct-section-2020-11-07_02 by Rail Squid, on Flickr is commonly known as the "Yokosuka livery" (横須賀色) as it was first applied to the 70 series units on the Yokosuka line. A variant was known as "Yamasuka" ("山スカ色"), as applied to the 115s on the Chuo Line (which had a slightly different front design to the 113s on the Yokosuka line), see e.g.: http://www.mrdimer.com/blog/115ysc/ 3 Link to comment
