it’s also on the right tracks with its

revamped bookingwebsite. Starting with

a prominent search engine on the

homepage, it’s five-s tep journey clearly

displays the departure, arrival and

duration times, along withvariousfare

options, optionalextras and a plan of the

carriage.You can also peekat the Sleeper

experience, check out destination guides

and sign upfor the latest offers.The only

derailment is the baffling decisionto hide

the fab range ofretro-style posters.

NHSX

http://www.nhsx.nhs.uk

The NHS is (finally) being digitally

transformed, giving patients access to

data and more online services.This is all

under the banner of NHSX – ‘X’standing

for userexperience – and this site

explains the thinking. Sofar, it’s ra ther

“governmental” and, in places, a bit

cringey. The videoby Secretary ofStat e

for Health Matt Hancock is deliveredover

a driving beat,yet the site itself blandly

draws attentionto the plan, culture and

values while sendingyou elsewherefor

blogs and updates. That said, there’sa

goodoverview of the apps andtools,

and aregularly updated Twitter account.
