As we are now into the 'silly season' it's time for an exciting new Eye competition...
Politicians as trains!
Twitter users may have seen some early attempts at this yesterday.
For example:
Tony Blair = Voyager - fast, no room for baggage but an unpleasant odour.
Lord Prescott = 08 shunter - Slow, determined but getting nowhere fast. Some are preserved in their retirement
Ali Campbell = Pendolino - Flash, exciting, shapes the agenda. Sadly not much up front and easily broken
Philip Hammond = Wickham Trolley - Petrol powered, single purpose, get you there. Big problem when it encounters passengers.
David Laws = 458 Junipers - Sudden end but a prosperous comeback on the horizon... (with a bowler tip to @swlines)
Ron Davies = East Coast cl91+mk4 set - carried more liveries than anyone can remember and likely to change again soon (with a bowler tip to @Politic_Animal)
Ann Widdecombe = Parry People Mover - very hard to get going and not worth it when you do (with a bowler tip to @BorisWatch)
Boris = a Pacer - very hard to stop them bouncing around on rough stuff (with a bowler tip to @BorisWatch)
More welcome...
UPDATE: This from @clloyd3003, via Twitter...
Gordon Brown = HST set - Old, a bit noisy, keeps getting upgraded, desperately needs to be replaced...
UPDATE: This from The Major...
Harold Wilson = Class 56 - Heavyweight and smokes a lot.
John Profumo = Class 35 - Incompatible multiple working. Early withdrawal but later did much useful work.
UPDATE: This from 5741 Duck...
Nick Clegg = TGV - moves faster than you'd expect, goes down surprisingly well in other countries and orange
UPDATE: This from The Big Basher...
Dave Cameron & Nick Clegg = Class 13 Master-and-slave unit - 'Nuff said.
