'Iconic' symbol and Union flag design for nationalised trains
A "striking" new design for UK trains has been revealed by the transport secretary - but you may well think it looks familiar.
Train services already in public ownership will begin to adopt a Union flag-inspired design from this spring, Heidi Alexander has confirmed. It's part of the government's efforts to nationalise most passenger rail services in the UK and run them under the new Great British Railways (GBR) brand - with its logo to be unveiled later today.

The branding features the familiar double arrow symbol used by British Rail when the country's trains were last state-owned.
