Title: On this day - 23rd February 2012 - GoCo rebrands Go-op Post by: grahame on February 23, 2022, 04:52:42 Quote THE co-operative behind plans for a train service between Wiltshire and Birmingham has changed the abbreviated form of its name after being threatened with legal action by insurance price comparison website Go Compare. The Go! Co-operative used the Go-Co brand to promote its rail plans and a car club in Swindon, but lawyers for Go Compare claimed that the Go-Co logo could be confused with the insurance website. As a result, the co-operative will now brand its services as Go-op. https://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/9547703.legal-threat-forces-co-operative-name-change/ http://go-op.coop/workspace/uploads/files/go-op_newsletter_spring_2012rrkw.pdf Title: Re: On this day - 23rd February 2012 - GoCo rebrands Go-op Post by: IndustryInsider on February 23, 2022, 10:08:04 An organisation that’s changed everything from its planned routes, its planned rolling stock, and its planned introduction date. It should be no surprise it changed its name too.

I do wonder at what point whoever is backing the project will decide that enough is enough. Or maybe given other news today we'll get an announcement soon that they are making a pitch for some Castle Class sets.

You would be very welcome to come along on 5th March to hear what they have to say to Railfuture - http://www.passenger.chat/25848 , guests welcome. There will also be a chance to catch up in person with some others who are looking forward as to rail might achieve "bigger and better" in the Severnside area and wider in the future.
