Sorry mate serious answer here but Branson is a Brit and it is the Brit sense of humour,
Virgin = F***ed
Express = Slow
GNER (Great North Eastern Railway) = C*** NER
First Great Western, well Western but hardly Great or First choice
The old excursion trains on the S+D ( Somerset and Dorset or more acurately Slow and Dirty) from Bath to Bournemouth were Bournemouth Rapides, which were hauled by an overloaded goods engine.
Easyjet is almost impossibe to get on acording to the telly
Now the Scots are different,
The Highland Railway actually served the highlands
Stagecoach is clearly a bunch of cowboys and, Gloagtrotter an earlier attempt by Ann Gloag etc neither descripive or funny.
I always thought Arthur Daley's Companies from "Minder "were great, "Island Villas" gives a real feel for the ethos of the company until you add (Hayling) as Arthur did.
Sorry to be boring

I am not a Virgin, and I was denied carriage last week, this was very embarassing. I also saw a girl who I know is a right slapper boarding, so how did that happen....special treats for the guard I think

I like your Virgin trains one - I dont use them (I dont like travelling on anything that doesnt go all the way!! - sorry thats an old one)
national express is for former journalists....
I dont use trains long distance cos flying is now cheaper and fast so how about this one....

Those would be for we males, most of whom like to get to where they're going in as short a time as possible. It's like driving a top fuel dragster in the NHRA. You only have to be good at it for 4.5 seconds.
