TRAIN-obsessed Michael Portillo has started dressing like them, fans spotted.

The ex-Tory minister, 67, films journeys for TV, and has around 20 bold outfits which match the livery of rail firms.

The former politician has had to invest in a string of bold blazers, shirts and chinos.

He wore navy with tangerine for old British Rail trains and even bright yellow with royal blue for the Eurostar.

The ex-politician has worn garish red, purple and yellow get up for South Western trains, pink and beige to match Transport for Wales and turquoise to match Southern’s brand.

Graphic designer Gareth Peate said: "It struck me that Michael often chose jackets, trousers and shirts that mirrored the livery of the major train companies.

“Doing some research I was amazed to find that there were more than 20 colour matches between his wardrobe and the livery of trains.

"Other people joined in who had also noticed and asked if it was a deliberate wardrobe choice.
