20th Century Limited reborn

[Brian UK]

A new UK train operator Grand Central Trains is to lean heavily to the past with its marketing strategy. Not only does it plan to adopt a US 50s retro style, including heavy use of Marilyn Monroe images internally, but it also plans to name two of its services The Zephyr and The 21st Century Limited. However, dont imagine these will be anything like the old streamliners - by US standards these are just 260 mile short hop corridor runs. It's just nice to see some recognition of history in todays bland world of rail PR crap.
