"The 265 metre-long train is “filled with literature, stories and colourful posters and will feature Pride related information and fun facts during the onboard announcements”."

The rainbow painted train is now a permanent part of the fleet, and Avanti West invites the public to suggest a name for it.

I was wondering how different the responses on here would be had the rainbow train been said to be supporting the NHS? Is it the decorated train or the reason for the decoration that upsets some?

Oh, perhaps another name as that one has been taken, if not for a train.

I'm not sure if they are breaking the law re employing only LGBT staff either?

Surelt they will have asked their current staff to work on the train, I dont think they will have gone on a gay recruitment drive, although to be fair that sounds more interesting than any recruitment I have done.
