That's a good point. I forgot about the open access operators and that GTR is a group.

I thought so! :lol:

I've just checked that, it only has one operator going through it from what I can see on RTT.

Hi everyone. Just a quick question about which train station has the most variety of Train Operating Companies passing through (stopping or non-stopping)? So far, Peterborough is the most I've found. Is this true, or is there another one? Peterborough has CrossCountry EMR Great Northern LNER...

Got it, thanks for your explanation.

I've been hearing these words all over the place, and it seems all of them are the same thing to me. What actually is the difference between these 3 different approaches?

Coould the DfT not make an exception. They might as well if they are keeping all the old names?

I was just curious. I certainly agree that fares and timetables are more important.

Got it, do you think the current brands would be scrapped, then?

If the Williams Review is accepted and this centralised rail authority is created, how would the operators names be shown on the logos or livery of the trains? Would it be similar to TfL, where there is one name for the entire system although operated by different businesses? Or would it just...

I don't really understand centralising the railways. Would it be similar to what they are doing now with the TOCs (management fees, taking on the losses), or would it be similar to British Rail. or would the government just control the fares and timetables and nothing else and First or Abelio...

I did a bit of redesigning of the Southeastern logo. It certainly isn't the best work I've ever done, but it was just a quite concept, I've attached two ideas I had::

I think the only issue with the GTR logos it the consistency between their brands. ThamesLink, Great Northern and Southern have totally different logos. It might be better to just pick a design and go with that across their whole family. Southeastern might be a fun one to redesign, I'll take a...

Totally agree with both those points. The c2c font looks terrible, and NI Railways logo just is bad, the entire thing. The font and the colour just looks terrible. I think Translink just needs a rebrand and that will translate to NI Railways.

Northamptonshire have been terrible with rail travel in recent years with only six stations in total. Weedon Station being reopened would make a lot of sense, even if only LNWR stopped there. What do you all think?

Designers out there, which railway franchise logos do you think are the worst? And why? What would you do to make them look better, or even more modern? I'm gonna be posting my rebrand of the Govia Thameslink Railway family tomorrow, so feel free to post your own rebrands too!

Must be a Scotland only thing then.

Fleet number, that's it. I couldn't think of it when starting this thread.

Does anyone know of a mobile app or website which you can track certain fleet numbers along their journey? I'd except there is something out there that would do just that.

Got it. Thanks.
