With the police busy locking up MPs who have embarrassed the Supreme Leader it is only right that today's awards ceremony should reflect the Age of Change.
Thus Comrade Deltic addressed the gathering from the podium and unveiled stunning train production figures for the next five years.
A number of comrades were seen to leave early. Their details have been recorded!
Alas, the same cannot be said for Rosco Angel Trains - which owned none of the winning fleets.
UPDATE: Generalismo Deltic writes:
"Generalissimo Deltic asks Eye to point out that the most reliable Intercity fleet is the IC225 trains operated by the East Coast Workers Collective and that it is the aim of the revanchist running dog lackeys of Marsham Street to replace these at an early date with the so called IEP which is likely to be the least reliable Intercity fleet .
"If this adventurism continues, the Generalissimo urges the serried ranks of railway workers, peasant and intellectuals, to rise up! And standing shoulder to shoulder to deliver a stunning rebuff to these decadent paper tigers, masquerading as rail management, as they cower in their bunkers."
