@pearshapes hell yes trains and silly old uk tv adverts thats such a good mix

@pupy the fact they did up a class 37 in police livery for an advert just cracks me up so much

the 125 is fantastic in and of itself bc i think it was britains big debut in the HST market! 125mph, of course, basically every main line fast side has a speed limit of 125 nowadays

@pearshapes something ive always liked about the intercity adverts is their slogan of "we're getting there" which.... i mean i get the intention is to be interpreted as sure you can take other trains but intercity will get you there quicker

but i just read it as "look it'll do for now, we'll have better stuff later, alright?"

Follow

@pupy really shoulda been "we'll get you there"
