"The new livery, which will start appearing on England's trains next year, has been shown off as part of the wider Great British Railways rebrand. The design features a red, white and blue colour scheme and sharp angles to create a design mirroring the Union Flag. Great British Railways will also reuse the classic British Rail double-arrows logo, without the suggested Union Jack colours which had been touted earlier in the year, to generally negative reviews."
"The design will also feature on the GBR ticketing website and app, which will combine the existing 14 rail operator websites and apps into one, with the previous websites ceasing to function. The preliminary tender document for the new website and app was published a week ago, confirming that independent websites will still be able to operate, but will need to compete with the GBR-branded website. Despite its name, Great British Railways will be mainly an English railway operator."
"The future of Britain's railways begins today. I'm immensely proud to unveil the new look for Great British Railways as we deliver landmark legislation to nationalise our trains and reform the railway so it better serves passengers. This isn't just a paint job - it represents a new railway, casting off the frustrations of the past and focused entirely on delivering a proper public service for passengers."
A new livery will start appearing on England's trains next spring, featuring a red, white and blue colour scheme and sharp angles that mirror the Union Flag. Great British Railways will reuse the classic British Rail double-arrows logo without the earlier-suggested Union Jack colours. Rollout will be gradual across trains and stations operated by government-owned companies, and the brand was designed in-house. The design will appear on a unified GBR ticketing website and app that combines 14 operator sites, with independent websites allowed to continue but required to compete. Welsh and Scottish governments can choose whether to adopt the branding.
