The Updated Identity for the UK's National Rail Body is Unveiled.
The administration has revealed the visual identity for GBR, representing a significant stride in its strategy to take the railways under public control.
A Patriotic Colour Scheme and Iconic Logo
The new branding uses a red, white and blue palette to reflect the Union Flag and will be used on locomotives, at stations, and across its online presence.
Interestingly, the emblem is the recognisable twin-arrow logo currently used by the national rail network and originally created in the 1960s for the former state operator.
The Introduction Strategy
The phased introduction of the new look, which was designed internally, is scheduled to happen in phases.
Commuters are scheduled to begin seeing the freshly-liveried services across the UK rail network from next spring.
Throughout the month of December, the visuals will be exhibited at major railway stations, such as Leeds City.
A Path to Nationalisation
The Railways Bill, which will pave the way the formation of Great British Railways, is presently progressing through the Parliament.
The administration has stated it is bringing back into public ownership the railways so the network is "run by the passengers, working for the passengers, not for private shareholders."
GBR will bring the running of train services and infrastructure under a unified structure.
The government has said it will combine seventeen different organisations and "eliminate the problematic bureaucracy and lack of accountability that continues to plague the railways."
App-Based Services and Current Ownership
The launch of Great British Railways will also feature a new mobile application, which will enable users to view timetables and reserve tickets without booking fees.
Passengers with disabilities travellers will also be have the option to use the app to book support.
Several operators had already been taken into public control under the previous government, including Northern.
There are currently seven train operators already in public hands, covering about a third of journeys.
In the past year, Greater Anglia have been brought into public ownership, with more expected to follow in the coming years.
Official and Industry Comments
"This is more than a new logo," stated the relevant minister. It represents "a fresh start, shedding the problems of the past and concentrated entirely on providing a reliable public service."
Rail figures have responded positively to the government's commitment to improving the passenger experience.
"The industry will continue to work closely with all stakeholders to support a successful handover to the new system," one executive noted.
