We moved into the next...

    What would stop the "British Rail" brand being resurrected?

    Just a hypothetical... surely it would be something of a PR win for the railways were they to do essentially what ScotRail do - have the actual franchisees be invisible to the public, but provide a consistent service under a single unified brand name, which could well end up being the British...
