I've seen some of the new adverts for National Express Coaches in
Underground carriages. None of them mentions 'coaches' at all - but
they all show a picture of a (model) train.
Are they being deceitful?

My mistake - and an apology to National Express, who own a railway
line - East Coast.

Also 'one', c2c, and Gatwick Express (until June).
Previously they ran Central Trains and Midland Mainline.
Perhaps that explains their sudden wish to rebrand themselves...

Supposedly going to be done later this year, although I've not heard
what the new name will be.
They have now dropped the "way2go" strap line for NX standard "Making
Travel Simpler" though.

The last issue of Modern Railways says "Some of the businesses will
require careful handling [...] we're working on a creative solution
for c2c rail services". Contrast with the rush to get shot of the
'one' brand.

Or an Oyster card - only on a few National Rail routes of course!
Being serious, I had written - and thought I had successfully posted -
a rant about just how stupid I though the 'one' railway name was.
Perhaps National Express Group plc know people in high places, so had
the rest of my post expunged...
