    Stations rebranded to Great British Railways design / Rail Alphabet 2 & 3

    I believe this is an updated version that will replace V3. The symbols, font (RA3), design of the sign itself (note the loss of the red inserts) and layouts are all completely different.

    Cambridge South new station opening

    It looks like Rail Alphabet 3 and not 2. Also noted new symbols on wayfinding signage.

    Great British Railways livery: Alternative suggestions/variations

    Spotted some updated GBR posters (that are less 'flaggy') and liked the (perhaps unintentional) subtle nod to the Provincial livery, so thought I would replicate and modify it onto a unit...

    Sunderland 700/701 TUPE dispute

    This would have been me - and you recall correctly. Other points to note was that Mr Fairchild became verbally abusive to the "employee representative" who was assisting with the supposed TUPE transfer. Most drivers are owed in excess of £5,000 - he's even claiming that drivers who left to work...

    National Express Coaches Discussion

    I have just played around with the NX website, which is more than happy to sell me tickets from places such as Stroud to Terminal 4 involving a four hour change between NX coaches at Terminals 2 and 3! :lol:

    Stations rebranded to Great British Railways design / Rail Alphabet 2 & 3

    All the stations on the Northumberland Line had their signage designed by AECOM, who appear to have read the Wayfinding guidelines whilst blindfolded… They were also responsible for the new road signs around the towns… signs in Cramlington directing people to Seaton Delaval station are...

    Bizarre Northern Powerhouse rail map issued

    It looks like they just took the existing map and put it through AI to overlay it onto a more interesting background…

    Taxis in Disruption (08-Dec-25)

    Driving associated with emergency rail replacement is exempt from domestic and assimilated driving hours; so as long as it doesn't risk road safety they can drive out of hours... as I did for the first time after the Shap derailment! It heavily relies on the goodwill of drivers, who quite...
