GBR Anglia

[dk1]

I can see how you commented now. No harm done. Was picking up on some earlier activity.

Cheers mate

I suspect that the full GBR launch will take place at the timetable change in December, by which point the Railways Bill should have become law.

No chance. October next year is the target date for getting GBR going properly, after being legally set up a few months before, probably March/April.

“Access Day”, when the new access and timetable planning arrangements are to be introduced, is currently scheduled for December 2027.

What a terrible map.
If GBR is the brand, why are there 'other operators' - surely XC, LNER and EMR will also be GBR services within the lifetime of the map.
And if GBR: Anglia is the brand, why isn't it mentioned, and why are there separate colours for C2C and greater Anglia services, which are no longer separate operations?

If this map is supposed to be showing passengers where services go, the old GA method of colouring in Intercity, Commuter, West Anglia, Regional and Stansted Ex services in different colours (whatever the actual names were) was far clearer than this map, which implies I can get a direct train from Sudbury to Norwich.

Anyone who thinks that GBR is going to care about its passengers should be given a copy of this map and a wall to bang their head against until they realise that no one has a clue what GBR actually means for passengers!

I would at least mark the TfL Overground and Elizabeth Lines in their colours, even if they used their original orange.

They missed a trick not just saying other GBR routes.

A central GBR Anglia Lost Property Office would make more sense than having the two, as after branding is complete, Joe Public won't have a Scooby which line he was on when the item went missing (escpecially as some C2C services run to and from Liverpool Street occasionally), and may save a trek from Liverpool Street to Fenchurch Street if at the wrong office...

I imagine all of this would come when GBR exists and functions can be properly merged. Though I presume things like lost property offices being merged might be a little down the priority list.
