Caption Competition Mk III
Mounting the APCs on railcars is a real win-win. Not only does it slash carbon emissions by 85%, but also prevents the tracks from damaging native vegetation and causing erosion. And as soon as we develop a diesel-powered track-laying train, we'll be able to deliver an attack anywhere.

(I'm running a bit late and need to sort out dinner, results tomorrow morning instead - I'm sure a few more captions will be generated by Saturday evening beer call!)
Treadigraph went for the 18.30 London Bridge to Croydon Thameslink Service, but Hoskins managed to take his train on the wrong line. Ended up at the Woolwich Arsenal.
Expect normal service on Easter Sunday

But brevity being the soul of wit as I believe Oscar Wilde once said, my favourite on this occasion was from the keyboard of Dan Gerous:
Well done Dan, you are hereby banished to the Judge’s inner sanctum for the next several days and the CST is en-route to you in a little yellow BR Bedford van, disguised as a British Rail third class cheese sandwich…

My last job? I was a Suez Canal Pilot. That did not last long either.
"HOSKINS!! You're not DJing in Ibiza! SIGNAL CORRECTLY!!"
You’re being rushed to the front lines and you’re travelling BR......... seriously?
Don't we need some tie-down chains? No, Boeing provided a Mechanized Carrier Attachment System. What could go wrong?
Tickets please.
