Low Cost Airlines to take over UK Rail Network

London - Today, Stephen Liars, UK Transport Minister, has announced that the low cost airlines are to take over the running of Railtrack, which was put into administration six months ago.
Ryanair immediately announced they would take over the Main Line route from London Kings Cross to Edinburgh. Admittedly, the trains start from Watford Junction and terminate at Gretna Green, but hey! Tickets are available from 99p return.
EasyJet have bid for easySleeper, the overnight train where you get a free orange shellsuit to sleep in.
Go were going to launch services from Newcastle, but their train driver, whilst able to drive past a green light, was awaiting further amber-light training.
As usual, no-one has a clue what buzz are doing.
