Visuelles Erscheinungsbild von Great British Railways präsentiert

Imagine having one of the most recognisable corporate brandings and arguably the best logo in the world and still managing to fuck this up:

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, this is a winner.

Union flag rail designs unveiled – South West Wales impact comes later
National launch, local reality
The UK Government today (9 December) unveiled the new Great British Railways brand, promising to bring the railways back into public ownership and end years of confusion. Ministers say the red, white and blue livery will start appearing on publicly owned operators from spring 2026.
Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander said:
“This isn’t just a paint job – it represents a new railway, casting off the frustrations of the past and focused entirely on delivering a proper public service for passengers.”
She added that the reforms, combined with a freeze on rail fares, would deliver a more reliable network and put money back in passengers’ pockets.
But in South West Wales, the impact will be felt later. Great Western Railway’s contract runs until June 2028, meaning services into Swansea and Carmarthen will remain under FirstGroup until then. Meanwhile, Transport for Wales trains — which dominate the region’s routes — are run by the Welsh Government and are not part of the GBR reforms.
In short: Union Flag‑painted trains won’t be pulling into Swansea or Llanelli stations any time soon.
Flags and politics
The symbolism of flags in public spaces has already been a live issue locally. Swansea Bay News recently reported on Carmarthenshire’s battles over which banners fly above council buildings — from the Union Flag to the Red Dragon and even the European Union flag. That story revealed how something as simple as a flagpole can spark fierce debate about identity, belonging and who gets to decide what represents a community.
Today’s rail announcement drops straight into that climate. Next year’s Senedd elections are expected to be dominated by Plaid Cymru, whose nationalism is rooted in Welsh identity and independence, and Reform UK, a populist party whose nationalism is tied to British identity and anti‑immigration sentiment. Two very different visions of nationalism, but both set to shape Wales’s political future.
Against that backdrop, the sight of Union Flag trains rolling into Wales will carry more weight than just a fresh coat of paint.

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