Boaty McBoatface is good though.....needs a smiley face painted on the bow

Trainy McTrainface was my doing, it was on the 0729 frpm Portsmouth Harbour-Waterloo on Tuesday morning and was meant as a way of raising a smile or two on the commute to London but it seems to have taken on a life of it's own since it was picked up by the Torygraph!

My 8yo thought it was hilarious when I showed him the photo on HuffPost.

I am quite surprised, though, that you have the facility to do that - a disgruntled employee, on their last day of work, could write absolutely anything on there.

We have that facility for times like tomorrow when I'm doing three trips to Woolston rather than Southampton as would normally be the case, as a non standard destination it has to be added manually.

Three trips to Woolston? One would be more than enough for most people!
