NRES - better late than never?

This from the Sleeper...

 

Nice of NRE to tell me that the 15:38  to Norwich is running 5 minutes late...two weeks after it happened.

Doh! NRES fail.

NRES - so good they say it twice

Perchance the NRES website designer is paid by the word*?

The Eye has received an email from a confused reader.

Dear Fact Compiler, he writes.

I live in Chester and access the internet via BT Broadband.

For the past couple of days the National Rail Enquiries website has been running adverts in Spanish.


And this one, today, is from US Government...

Can you tell me what's going on?

Good news for lusty users of timetable website nationalrail.co.uk

Adverts have started appearing on the site from Pabo, a company which offers intending rail users a range of diversionary products including the 'Prince of Namibia', 'Finger ring vibe' and 'Full size rear entry'.

The Fact Compiler compliments ATOC on selecting an advertiser who will reduce the number of passengers willing, or indeed able, to sit on overcrowded rail services.
