Probably because they're all using an image that has been supplied to them
for that purpose. That avoids any problems with copyright or licence fees.

Or maybe it is subliminal.

Some say that the ScotRail livery is designed to create a flashing
image of a saltire as the train passes in order to hypnotise people
into voting for independence :-)

So who is doing the supplying? I'd expect coordinating lots of TOCs to
be more complicated than each one just using a whatever database their
marketing teams normally use.

I think an English TOC should have a St George's cross style logo and
"England's railway" on its trains, which could then be powered by heat
generated by the outrage it would trigger from people who go on about
"flag-shagging" because they once saw a tweet saying Asda had sold a
piece of cheese labelled "made in UK".
