Phwoar - What a stunner!!!

This from Glenda Flagg...

Hats off to Rail Professional - it knows how to get the fellas pulses a racing.

Sticking Rail Barbie on the cover, a winking and a pouting through her long blond tresses with that come hither look.

Hither or thither, Glenda doesn't care!

Rail Barbie is welcome to ride our train anytime!! (shurely run our failing franchises anytime? Ed)

Move over Mr Coucher man, there's only one candidate for the Network Rail top job and it ain't Ice Lady Vickie!!! Geddit!?!!? (You're fired. Ed)

UPDATE: This from Fiscal Rectitude...

I note from the list of quangocrat salaries published today that Elaine Holt is paid between £180k and £184.999 a year to chair Directly Operated Railways.

As DOR only runs the East Coast franchise (which has its own MD) I am struggling to see what Rail Barbie actually does to earn this not inconsiderable sum.

Which ever way you look at it the East Coast/DOR management structure seems remarkably top heavy.

Do we really have to wait for the McNulty review before making the obvious saving?

Railway press - the gloves are off!

It's obviously getting tough out there for those selling ad space in the railway press.

This from the new ad sales team at Rail Amateur...

Our proposition to potential advertisers is a simple one; Rail Professional is the magazine read by the people with budgets, and who make the purchasing decisions in the rail industry. It is delivered to individuals, not dumped in bulk at messhalls. It is not a magazine for gricers, or for those engrossed by technical detail; it is a business magazine about the very serious business of running the railways professionally, and about the people who do just that - the rail professionals.

"Dumped in bulk at messhalls" (shurely 'messrooms'. Ed)

"Magazine for Gricers"

"Engrossed by technical detail"

Who can they mean?

UPDATE: This from Leo Pink...

Strange that they missed 'Written by BBC Transport correspondents in their spare time' from the list of plus points.
