Right...but only one half of a parenthese at the end of the name & none at the beginning? Why not a dash or a space as a separator? See what I mean?

Ok, now I understand. You want to know why did they use a closing parentheses. Its just a separator between the train name and the city name. Yes they could have used a dash or anything else, but they chose a parentheses.

You can always rename a train yourself. Then, you could add in the missing "(" somewhere in the train name if you like! Or, add a semicolon and a dash to the end of the name... ;-)

I'll need to remember to do that! :)

I just thought there may have been a way to do it through the editor.

I like to rename my expresses as (A, or (B, or whatever letter comes next.

It's because when it displays the unnamed trains, they just have numbers, so they show as 1) or 2) or 39) or whatever. They used the parentheses for the numbered trains, which looks natural, and didn't stop to think that it might look a little strange with named trains.
