Great British Railways flies the flag as logo goes back to the future
Livery for renationalised railway features red, white and blue alongside familiar double arrow symbol
No matter how much train fares cost under Great British Railways, no one can accuse the government of wasting money on an expensive redesign.
The logo, branding and livery for the impending renationalised and reformed railway will be unveiled by ministers at London Bridge on Tuesday. It is red, white and, yes, blue. Continue reading...

And yet its biggest cheerleader, Nigel Farage, continues the face zero accountability for this mess. In fact quite the opposite.

He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

Suggestion for any parliamentarians who see this. Put down a PQ to the Cabinet Office to ask them if an assessment has been made of whether use of X is compatible with GCS propriety rules, the Civil Service Code and the PSED. And if not, why not.

Almost every bridge on the M6 now has a Union Jack and St George's Cross on it. Reminds me of when they all had "take back control" signs on them.

Another classic design downgraded for no reason. Waste of money and time, while I also think there's a lot to be said for using traditional branding at a time when there's a widespread sense of national loss - such an easy win re national pride. Counties should ditch naff slogans and logos too.

BBC's Arabic radio service in Lebanon closed after 85 years as part of a £28.5m savings drive. 'Just months later, in October 2023, the Russian state-owned Sputnik news agency took over the frequency. Its news bulletin opened with “This is Moscow”, replacing the previous “This is London” intro.' 🙄
