...those tails were actually rather beautfiully designed, and the concept was really great one, one of many diverse cultures etc, something I think the uk does represents. I just was never sure it was right for ba as ba is "british airways" and to not have the union flag on the tail, just...

...haha, yeah seen a lot about that on blogs about what you get when you turn the tgv logo upside down lol - now that is horrible logo. the new eurostar logo isn't quite as terrible as that at least...

...yeah it just looks out of date, and decidedly vacant, like they had nothing to say about the service. I think it would have been better to at least just take the old logo and tweak it... if not go for completely new design...

...well I wasn't fan of the old one, but it was passable. the new one just looks cheap - and it's meant to be the premier cross-channel rail service, hardly fittiing... edit: and that tgv logo is truly horrific, don't understand why we can't have something sophisticated and simple liek SJ's...

...lol this thread is funny. I have to admit, there was rather dashing train guard on xc journey once which I wouldn't have minded joining the club with...:wink:

^^as professional graphic designer specialising in identity design, I'm horrified. terrible...

^^this sound a lot more plausible. I don't think the dft sit in a room going "ooh, well I like abellio cos it be nice to see ns logo on a british train, how post modern would that be eh?". DfT as government organisation are are answereable to both government and to the people bidding, and it...

^^I think people got confused, the op is travelling TO manchester from newcastle, not from manchester pic. I'd agree though get something before the food on tpx isn't worth it. unfortunately newcastle station is pretty p*** poor (expensive and poor quality costa, whsmith, pumpkin et al) for...

^oh right, so you can't just select several specific desitinations?

...I think this would be massive backward step. in climate where we have more direct connections to london with the open access operaters such as fHT and GC, it would be ridiculously regressive move. Also I agree a lot of business travellers, who would use the first class offering would simply...

...how do you add more than one desitnation to be displayed?

^^unfortunately Norwegian don't have online check-in, so my best bet might be to get the previous nights arlanda express or risk it and try and checkin before getting the first train at stockholm central, as they're supposed to have check-in kiosks there, but that seems a bit risky to me...? I...

Hi guys! I'm off to stockholm for a weekend break at the end of february - yay! so anyway was trying to make sense of the Arlanda Express ticketing... I noticed if you're 16-25 it's cheaper, was wondering what you had to provide to qualify for that? will my passport do? Also I need to get to...

...just on the 11:00 East Coast service from Edinburgh to London Kings Cross. used the café bar and the friendliest person served me! makes a nice change! he clearly enjoys his job and it was nice to see him joking about with his colleague etc - I like it when service is human...:D he even...

^^not sure thats not necessarily cynical, were my thoughts as well. just think its sad and I agree with what someone else said, most people will and do easily go to m&s or boots before they board, cos they're a lot cheaperand offer much better cold food. I think the trains miss a trick by not...
