Great British Railways
I like the name and its initialism. Quite funny, which is good for such a short name, and harks back to several different eras of railway history.
A world of difference from names like Abellio and Arriva and Govia and Avanti, which mean nothing and sound horrible. Although maybe I’m just prejudiced against made-up names that end in vowels.
Who would have thought that it would be the Tories who would nationalise the railways?
