Shoveller disintermediates

This from the Deep Alliance...



Perhaps a little more polish on the voice over required?

Otherwise very good.

Deep Alliance - the railway at prayer

An Eye spy in Wiltshire has sent the following intriguing image.

Pictured deep in meditation is SWT/Wessex Route supremo Tim Shoveller, after having met Winchester passengers on Thursday night.

Is Tim seeking forgiveness, or Divine inspiration on how to take the Deep Alliance into CP5?

Shoveller disintermediates the Deep Alliance!

See!

Narrowcast and talking direct to the customer isn't so difficult.

Although perhaps something on track condition, on the hottest day of the year, wouldn't have gone amiss...

UPDATE: This from Southern Belle...

Yeah, worth mentioning track condition just to be smug!

Bearing in mind the problems on the Western, South Eastern and Great Eastern tonight.

Benefits of the Deep Alliance explained...

This from ITV... 

 In an article posted on the company's website, South West Trains explained why the heat was affecting their services.

    Very hot weather can have an impact on the train service we can deliver. As with all metals, the track we use to run our trains expands and contracts depending on its temperature, i.e. the hotter it gets, the more it expands. Just like a car on a warm day, the metal can reach temperatures far in excess of the surrounding air temperature.

    Whilst we carry out a significant amount of work to prepare for the impact of hot weather by using hydraulic machines to artificially stress the rails to cope with high temperatures, over the weekend we have seen temperatures on our tracks of almost 50oc. The ageing condition of our infrastructure has meant that despite the preparation work that has taken place, we have had to impose speed restrictions at certain locations on our network

That's the way to do it! (Where's the video news release? Ed)
