ONE used to be the name of our local National Express rail service but the confusion over tannoy messages led to a rebranding a few months ago. Yet again, station signs and trains are being repainted..

The S2 London bus, a Clapton and Bow fixture since 1970 is also being rebranded soon to the 425 and 488. Shame!
