How exiting! They are going to introduce "sub-brands!" Truly they

To be fair it is no different to the current policy used by Silverlink
with respect to "metro" and "county".

I'm confused. Which sub-brand do the current Silverlink County services
come under? "London Midland Express Lines will provide a distinctive
identity for the longer distance routes outside the West Midlands", but i
don't think Euston to Tring is really 'longer distance'. But "London
Midland City will be a platform for the promotion of integrated transport
across the West Midlands city and region", and i don't think Tring trains
have much to do with the West Midlands either.

You're being overly picky. The route is from London to Birmingham and
Crewe; a few of the trains just happen turn back at Tring.

That's one way of looking at it, i suppose.

It's fairly clear to me: one brand for WCML semi-fast services, and one
brand for everything else (i.e. most of what's inherited from Central
Trains).

Great, except the name and description don't fit that.
