After seeing the timetable design for the X6|X7 and X20, I'm really disappointed with GNE. There really wasn't a thing wrong with the old timetable designs, and I hate the use of the stock images to show the landmarks. Their new typeface is also absolutely dreadful compared to the previous.
I also hate the fact GNE are removing brand names and replacing them with ridiculous ones... Blue Arrow merging into "Little Coasters"? replacing IndiGo... what on earth... Blue Arrow was fine... very confused as to why companies bypass the sensical phrase 'if it's not broken, don't fix it'.
To me, this whole GNE branding refresh is awful. The corporate livery was fine, and the brands that have since been removed should have stayed. Lambton Worm, Waggonway, Whey Aye Five-O - all now standard GNE routes... boring! I'm dreading what's coming next after this X-lines announcement.
