Excellent stuff.

Public transport needs all the positive PR it can possibly get. The benefits of the increased usage, both in revenue and other societal benefits such as reduced car usage, justify the expenditure on these stunts.

Liking it! Maybe tpe could do with doing one of their sets in something different too. Maybe the Liverpool 08 set perhaps, (or just cross it out and put Hull for it's turn)

With all that cr4p over the front it looks like it has ploughed through a herd of reindeer and they have exploded!

Rudolph the red nosed train-deer,
Had a very shiny nose,
And if you ever saw him,
You may even say it glows!

All of the other engines,
Used to call him names,
They never let poor Rudolph,
Join in any railway games!

Then one foggy Christmas eve,
Branson came to say,
"Rudolph with your nose so bright,
Won't you run my train tonight?"

Then all the other engines loved him,
As they shouted out with glee!
Rudolph the red nosed train-deer,
you'll go down in history!

(sorry, couldn't resist)

Proud and bright afront
Rudolph the red nose train-deer,
He went everywhere back-wards.

The train for the 1G40 and 1B94 workings conked out: This service was cancelled throughout due to a problem with the train (M6). :D
390112 was actually what I got on that 1G40 working the first of two times I attempted to ride the Pretendolino :lol:
