Union Flag Blues: the Branding of Great British Railways In a blaze of publicity, the branding for Great British Railways, state-owned future operator of some of the privatised British railway network, was unexpectedly launched earlier this month, a mere four years after Great British Railways was first announced. In typical British transport policy tradition, the government almost immediately undermined its own efforts to create a unifying visual identity for the English railway network, having long since ceded the battle to brand the British railway network. http://thebeautyoftransport.com/2025/12/22/union-flag-blues-the-branding-of-great-british-railways/
