Sorry Fgwfan, but what was the point of that post?
If you've got nothing to add to this discussion, then don't say anything.

I watched a show about them on ITV2 "Airline USA" a few weeks ago.

I've seen pictures of the planes before and meant to of asked if they were owned or part owned by Stagecoach
Can you claim copyright for a train livery being used on a plane?

To amuse us perhaps. That was a stupid comment Jamie.

Do yourself a favour Jamie. Get a bus to the nearest hospital and ask for a humour implant.

evil_hippo was right, it was to amuse readers. It was a parody to some extent of an SWT 450 announcement.

South West Airlines was used as it was the closest thing I could think of to suggest it was a pee-take of SWT. Didn't know they actually existed... :oops:

I see. More evidence that it was purely an SWT pee-take then.

Oh how I love taking the waters out of SWT and GNER...
