From Andrew Colin
Further to Feedback’s reports on humorous railway announcements
(15 May), we
were at Haymarket station in Edinburgh waiting for a train to Glasgow. The
scheduled Intercity was very late. Eventually a decrepit local train labelled
“Glasgow” drew in. The announcer said,
“The train at platform 4 is for Glasgow Central, via Carstairs, Motherwell,
Bathgate, Wishaw” and many other places. He then added, “This is a very slow
train. If you are bound for Glasgow don’t board it unless you have a copy of
War and Peace.”
