One red or "rail blue" line at the bottom or top of the sign, and it should express the visual identity adequately.

That new wordmark reminds me of those old Network SouthEast sector logos.

The incident reminds me of a series of incidents on the New York Subway, where a group of vandals calling themselves the "conquestors" have been interfering with train controls meant only for staff. There was an incident in 2015 when they stole a metal sign and then laid it under the conductor...

I think it is all down to the pressure for anyone to "be the first" to report any major information. In the era of social media, you can add the pressure for "fast facts" on top of that. It’s not healthy, because that means so little time to cross-confirm or proof-read it.

How do I explain how the Daily Mail is… um… not the best of sources? Therefore I cannot consider the proposed red on blue design to be confirmed.

It was there before the Operator of Last Resort took over. Source: https://web.archive.org/web/20211010032743/https://www.southeasternrailway.co.uk/ (Web archive snapshot from 10 October 2021).

Yellow fronts, and a smaller loading gauge compared to mainland Europe.

I know it is a one-off logo, but Gerry Barney has a point to make about the Rail Delivery Group’s interpretation of the double arrow. I can understand the potential of updating a logo, but for some time I have found the Rail Delivery Group version of the double arrow to be very out of balance...

I wonder if "New British Rail" has been suggested before? I remember Argentina used that format when they bought back Ferrocarriles Argentinos as "Nuevos Ferrocarriles Argentinos" back in 2015.

Well, I stabled a Bakerloo line train in the Queens Park shed for the night, not knowing that it was still full of passengers. The game didn't specifically tell me to detrain passengers. And I still got a gold rating for that. However, it is early days and I am sure an update is in the works...

Southall on the first Train Sim World 1, but it has the bilingual signage that I know the station best for.

The original London Overground livery is actually a version of the red/blue/white London Underground livery that London Regional Transport (the one before Transport for London) rolled out at the end of the 1980s, just as Network SouthEast was rolling out the toothpaste livery. However, the...

I think it is fair to say that the RATP was a big fan of the anthracite grey front ends, and obviously they did it at a time when that style was fresh.

I think that there is a legitimate concern about new trains having mostly black or dark grey front ends, although the concern does not necessarily call for all the trains to go back to using yellow fronts, well, at least for the purpose of this post. It is actually a very common trope with new...

Hello, I am sorry that I slipped up on where I should have posted this thread, even though COVID-19 has affected absolutely everything to a point that it is so hard to avoid it.

I am starting to feel that the Crossrail tunnels may never open with the current situation, much like the Croxley Rail Link. While the above-ground sections may be repurposed for existing services, the tunnels would become a national humiliation, first with the sheer underestimation of the...

Competition law might get in the way, but if I recall correctly, Bombardier got a lot of criticism from the other side of the Atlantic when the doors of the R179 type cars for the New York City Subway stopped working properly, which forced the Metropolitan Transit Authority to bring the old R42...

The current operator’s logo seems to be a bad omen of how the Arriva franchise would turn out.

So from what I have seen so far, the stations with Avanti signage, by the position of the triangle, are: Left: Lancaster, Macclesfield, Penrith North Lakes Right: Preston, Warrington Bank Quay, Wigan North Western Base: Birmingham International, Rugby, Runcorn, Stafford

There were two instances of the TfL Rail Blue bilingual platform signage on 22 December 2019. First Great Western (now GWR) basically stuck their logo over the stripes.
