"It was then that Virgin disovered the Pendolino's were actually Adelante's in pantomime costume."

The streamling by Greasley on the A4 kettles was good, but THIS is the dog's bollox!

Claims that electric trains are better for the environment have come under scrutiny after Virgin's attempt to woo the spotters with the Acme Smog Machine fitted to it's Pendolinos.

Imagine hearing on BBC news...

"Richard Branson could not comment on the class 37 engine fitted to the elctric penolino trains. In a statement from Virgin they said: "At Virgin we like to keep all of out customers happy."

In other news temperatures have risen sharply as a result of pollution and climate change along the WCML"

As the hamsters had gone on strike demanding a more lucrative Christmas pay package, Virgin were forced to reveal their secret weapon.

(Tom, you need an apostrophe in don't.)

:toothy10: The day before Virgin banned smoking on all of it's services! :toothy10:​

Incidentally, can anyone tell me what on Earth is actually going on in that picture? If it was an American train (As many of them run on petrol!) then I would understand...But an electric train going up like that? :shock:
