@transportdsn @samjessupdesign @AbellioRailBus Any idea who designed this? The Current design for the East Midlands franchise under Stagecoach was designed by m360 in Nottingham. Wondering who this new brand was designed by?

11:20 is the best guess. Thanks to @Trainhelp1 for their info. If you're gathering at Ilkeston railway station to see the Scotsman, The Junction Cafe (right next to the station) will be open if you want refreshments. #Ilkeston
