This just in, unbelievably, from the late Louella Parsons...
Darlings, I've been schmoozing with the dishy Lord Andrew.
No, not Lloyd Webber!
The dishy one with such an angsty face who's in every quality broadsheet. Yes! Lord Andrew Adonis.
And he told me, as we 'supped an ale' at the Betjeman Arms at St Pancras, that he is to feature in a new reality show called 'Over the Trainbow'.
Every week Lord Andrew and a team of experts (Stuart Baker) will try out the alternatives to what he calls 'IEP' and by the end of the show we'll know what the future will be for luxury long distance rail travel on your pretty little island.
It all sounds such a gas!
'Do you have a favorite' I whispered into his ear?
"A big chunky loco sounds good", he replied
Dunno what that means, but Andy sure is fun.
He even asked me if I wanted to know how his bi-mode worked? Fresh or what?
'Sorry, I'm just not that kinda girl' I had to tell him.
UPDATE: This from Muttley...
Rumour has it that the BBC were very interested in showing 'Over the Trainbow'.
Unfortunately they couldn't find a studio big enough to fit the judging panel (Dft, DfT Consultants, DfT Lawyers, DfT Lawyers-consultants, Treasury, ORR, ATOC, Network Rail, Network Rail's consultants, affected TOC's etc...)
