Basil Jet remarked:
Do we know what the fare levels to Heathrow will be yet, or is that
still up in the air (pun not intended, the trains aren't planes)?

A train driver recently said over the PA, I don't know if
unwittingly or with very great wit: "We are now completing our
approach into Cambridge Station"


Why was this witty?


There's anecdata about guards making announcements pretending to be on a
plane "Welcome aboard, today we'll be cruising at zero feet above the
rails..."

Was it in Camberley?


Last time I looked, Cambridge wasn't in Camberley.
