Great British Railways’ proposal to simplify Delay Repay Plans for Great British Railways aim to deliver a simpler, fairer experience for rail passengers, with faster compensation for delays and tougher action on fare evasion. Under proposed reforms, passengers would be able to claim Delay Repay compensation directly from the retailer they purchased their ticket from.

Greens welcome #GreatBritishRailways but what about rolling stock?

ROSCOs paid £275m in dividends to shareholders last year - a huge drain on public finances!

I urge the Government to find ways to bring our rolling stock into public hands.

Well, that's the logo & paint job done but... now for difficult stuff.

Photo of a train decorated in the fugly new livery of Great British Railways

The #Starmtroopers have revealed the #livery for the #UK's fake "nationalised" rail company, #GreatBritishRailways. Unsurprisingly, the livery is a childish, garish, #fugly, visually illiterate riff on #flagshagging. If there is a prize for crimes against design […]

Let’s be honest this is peak train livery and nobody can change my mind 🇬🇧 #greatbritishrailways #britishrail

As a long-time campaigner for publicly owned railways and the proud owner of a very well-worn @bringbackbritishrail.org t-shirt, I am excited to vote for #GreatBritishRailways in public hands today 🛤️🙌

But as @sianberry just said in the Commons debate - shall we do the actual trains next?! 🚆

Wonder how much the design consultant trousered for the approx 30 minutes work! ;-)

Proof you can incorporate the Union Flag or red, white and blue into train paint schemes and it still looks good #GreatBritishRailways

New livery for #GreatBritishRailways. There a lot to like here: Loving the return of double arrow and Rail Alphabet of course. Though as one of responders says: just wondering about the coach stripes being angled too? What do you think? :-)

They now need to sort out the messy and confusing ticketing system. Nobody I’ve met actually knows when peak tickets start or end, or the rules around them (apparently, it varies by region).

Branding and logo for Great British Railways unveiled The new red, white and blue branding mirrors the colours of the Union Flag, and will start to appear from next year.

I quite like the new branding for #GreatBritishRailways. It’s quirky and colourful, much like its passengers.

After almost 40 years of parasitical privatisation we're finally getting our Railways back.

When do we get our Utilities and Royal Mail back?

Wow, that's hideous. Could they not have taken their cue from the new clocks and gone with something a bit more classic that could at least inspire a little pride? The GBNews copy job just looks naff #greatbritishrailways
