Great British Railways Livery In Tsw6

I think it would work better if intermediate coaches were just blue with white doors, maybe a little dash of red. It's too busy.

 

Yes.

 

Where's Tony Hart and Morph when you need them.

It looks better than the terrible one they showed, also most people would think br for something called British railways

 

It will have been signed off now before going public as these publicity stunts all cost money in marketing etc

 

Problem is, Great British Railways isn't British Rail, and nothing instills confidence in the new nationalised era like mimicking the failed era of nationalised rail

 

Thanks Candace, but I think Harry or another colleague merged it earlier so all good

 

It Only failed because of the government so it’s a them problem

 

I find the colors a bit much, though still quite beautiful. But when you see dozens of trains like this at a station, in my view it feels a bit overdone. It’s really a lot of flag. And in a 3D environment it often looks much nicer than in reality, when a train simply gets dirty.

 

I agree that it'll look odd seeing all the trains look the same at the station. I do wonder if this is a sign that they are just going to have one big national rail operator, as opposed to many different regional ones. Good in some ways (more standardisation etc.), but limits competition. Even LNER and TPE compete for example despite both being DfT, and this has particularly been pushing TPE to improve based on what I've observed recently.

 

I don’t really understand the whole national railway idea. We’ve seen in the past what the excesses of that were. In Europe, many of the railways were bottomless pits where money disappeared like water. It sounds nice, but in practice it often turns out to be more difficult. In my view, privatization is not necessarily bad, though England did create a problem in the 1990s by setting far too few conditions. Privatization only works with the right framework. In fact, it’s often the case that passengers benefit, as you rightly pointed out it often has a positive effect. And as I already mentioned, nationalization is not the solution, even if it may seem very appealing

 

What about me?

 

Well, London Bridge is Falling Down so I suppose it would be appropriate.

 

Having it in this livery would of been much much better

 

Cough...

 

The livery is bold, it's growing on me.

Absolutely delighted that Dovetail are working with the DfT and GBR. This hopefully means many modern routes that were previously not possible in TSW are now possible.

 

100%
