ScotRail logo from circa 1996
This was the logo that was adopted for ScotRail as it moved towards privatisation in the mid 1990s. ScotRail - the brand name itself dates from 1983 - was the last part of BR to be privatised (April 1997) when National Express Group took over its operation. I seem to remember it was nicknamed the ScotRail “whoosh” and represented a highly stylised map of Scotland. NatEx changed some of the colour - the blue became purple and the yellow became green. When NatEx were replaced by First as operators of the franchise in 2004, it started to be superseded by the corporate ‘f’ logo of First Group.
