... I saw the first example of a refurbished 317/6 in "one" livery at cambridge this morning. My they have been fast with the vinyls! The vinyl's on 321446 which is also in Rainbow livery were applied within a few days, I rode it on the last Friday of FGE (26th Mar), when it was in full FGE Blue/Green/Grey, then by the start of one it was out in Rainbow colours. Crap vinyl's as well, you can see the FGE colours below, above the windows and doors being the worst. |

I know the name of the rail company taking over ALL train services from
Liverpoool Street today is "One". [www.onerailway.com] BUT - Was my friend winding me up today (1/1/04) when he said the tannoy announcement he heard this morning at London LS, instead of being "the 0730 First Great Eastern service to ....." was changed to "the 0730 'One' service to ....." ?!! So to Passengers on the platform, this would have sounded like the "OH-SEVEN-THIRTY-ONE service to....." Did anyone miss the train by a minute? What about another scenario: "The train on platform (tannoy goes crackly) is the 11:42 ONE sevice to Liverpool Street" (passengers who are only half listening make their way to platform one, and miss the train.) What a ****ing stupid name for a TOC. |

So change the announcements to "The train on platform x is the 11:40 service to Liverpool street operated by One". -- Simon Hewison |
