Last Sunday, the passengers travelling from Rugby on the 6.50, Virgin operated, train between Birmingham and London Euston, had a chance to hear the following message through the train’s PA system:
‘Good morning, ladies and gentelmen, this is your driver speaking. I do hope none of you is planning on catching up on your sleep or reading during your journey as I shall be interrupting you with endless announcements about refreshment trolleys, smoking bans, emergency exits, unattended bags, mobile-free queiet zones, and the importance of keeping your feet off the seats. For those of you who can’t understand timetables or station signs, I shall also be maintaining a running commentary on our progress towards our destination. I get very lonely in my cabin, you know.
Our next scheduled station stop is Watford Gap …’
