I meant the "brand" of the suburban railways relating to how they are
perceived etc, not the "branding" on the side of stations etc. Apologies
for my ambiguity!

A proper "rebranding" exercise in this case would be a massive
restructuring and building exercise, which I think you generally agree with!

Indeed! But simply providing more trains and open ticket offices would be a
start. Posh stations (and posh trains) come far lower down my list of
priorities.
