Rail firm's 'one' confusing name

Is it the '1:41 train' or the '1:40 One train' ...?
East Anglia's latest train service franchise is re-thinking its name.
One, run by National Express, is dropping branding in station
announcements because passengers associate numbers with train times.

Jonathan Denby, of One Railways, said: "Inevitably, when you put
something into practice, you pick up things which perhaps don't work
quite as well."

I think Mr Denby's statement somewhat understates the extent of the cock
up.
