Good evening ladies and gentlemen, and welcome aboard this 17.32 Trans Country Express service to London Central Station.
We’ll be calling at Picturesque Village, Windswept Halt, Dulltown West, Dulltown Central, Dulltown East, a station with seemingly nothing anywhere nearby, Large Commuter Suburb, Long Wait in the Countryside, Several Identical Places, Cheadle, Yemen, and London Central Station.
Our scheduled arrival time at London Central Station is 18.44 this evening.
Please note that some of our calling points today have short platforms and you will need to be in the correct part of the train if you wish to alight. Passengers for Dulltown East and Large Commuter Suburb will need to be in the front eight carriages. Passengers for Dulltown West will need to be in the front ten carriages. Passengers for Large Commuter Suburb will inexplicably need to be in either the front four or rear six carriages. I don’t make the rules.
As this service will be arriving in to London Central Station before 18.43 this evening, daily travelcards are not valid for travel, but commuter plus cards are valid, and ultra saver photocards are mandatory. First class accommodation is available in carriages 4 and 8, and passengers will need a first class ticket and a peerage or hereditary title in order to travel in the first class compartments.
A trolley service of drinks and light snacks will operate on this service from Dulltown Central onwards. If you do intend to buy something from the trolley please note that alcoholic drinks cannot be purchased once we leave Cheadle since beyond that point we enter the London Central Station duty free zone. However, on our final approach to London Central we will be pleased to offer discount cigarettes, perfumes and spirits.
A reminder to passengers that due to current Government regulations it is mandatory to wear spectacles while travelling on public transport unless you are medically exempt.
My name is Carmelita Delasquez, and I am your guard for this journey. If you require any assistance during your journey, you can currently find me in carriage six of this twelve coach train. If you see anything suspicious please don’t hesitate to inform myself or another member of railway staff, or call or text the Railway FBI on 64064. See it, say it, suck it and see.
On behalf of myself and the driver, I’d like to wish you a pleasant journey with Trans Country Express today. Our next station stop will be Picturesque Village, which I’ll begin announcing in about thirty seconds’ time. Thank you.

Excuse me, I’m allergic to M&Ms, please can you make sure that there aren’t any on this train for my own personal safety?
Do you accept Access card? I seem to be short on change.
For safety reasons we don’t allow M&Ms on our trains at all. If they get under the wheels the train might skid or derail so it’s a safety issue on which we can take no chances.
Regarding your Access card, certainly, yes. If you let me know which station you’re travelling to I’ll make sure some people put out a special ramp for you to get off, with an Access card swipe machine on the handrail.
Can I pay you in M&Ms?
Depends. Is your Access Card balance in M&Ms instead of pounds?
I tried to get a normal bank account and they wouldn’t let me. I don’t understand money or something? I tried paying in 10,000 kola nuts and they refused so they opened an account for me 40 years in the past.
You don’t want to know how many pound minutes I’m waste trying to check my balance.
Sounds legit. I’ll just put it on the tab.
