Because all trains should have facial hair

Dammit George!

"I was questioned in the middle of the station by a transport official. Then another investigator, using his phone, checked that I had a valid 16-25 Railcard. They confirmed they thought my story was genuine and that I would receive a letter asking me to explain, with documentation showing the re-application for any lost cards and also evidence of cancellation of my bank card. I was reassured that, as long as all these details were sent with a covering letter, the problem would be resolved. I did so, only to receive a letter telling me I would now be summoned to a magistrates’ court to explain the issue and escalate the matter further." Arriva Trains Wales - weirdos.

The train in front is going at 3 mph, as it is struggling to get traction on the rails

Sorry did you have plans for this evening?

Not sure if photo is satire!

Finally a Facebook group I can really get into.

That awkward moment when...

On a busy commuter train the guy next to you is watching a film that contains a sex scene, to cover his obvious embarrassment he closes the tablet. You can still hear the sex noises coming through the headphones...!

The coming storm

The train stars are currently aligned in my favour. Two days running I've walked into a station expecting a wait and instead found a delayed train waiting for me like a personal chauffeur service. I fear the oncoming storm of rail disasters that will soon befall me.

Just sit down!

There's no worse commuter than one that stands up in the middle of a carriage full of reserved seats, looking forlornly down the carriage wondering what to do. SIT DOWN!

think it’s adorable that the ticket man on the train had a heart shaped hole punch. #train #sheffield #unilife

Top tip

Phones on trains are great their size means you always have something to look at or read. With their large screens iPhones are great for pictures rude or otherwise.

So today's top tip: if you're looking at 'interesting' photos of your better half the train is probably not the best place. Unless of course you want to be like that bloke reading the football newspaper supplement on the underground. 'The game' involved would be a very different one.

Transpenine send half a train for the busiest service of the day. After a nice day watching the cricket I'll be stood up between at least selby and leeds and expend all my positive energy. Good job guys

The hot girl sucking her thumb on the train thinks no one is looking. Unfortunately everyone who travels on trains is so adept at pretending not to look that in actual fact the whole carriage is inwardly smiling and facebooking the photo.

Is there anything more irritating than being on a potentially fast train stuck behind the slowest stopping train known to man? And why do they bother with stoppers? It only encourages people to live in the middle of nowhere and irritate the hell out of the rest of us.

Awesome new train conductor trend, custom ticket markers. Today I've had a bell and a three  leaf clover but I've also had a smilie face and duck. Some comductors still insist on using biros and date stamps, this is lame. Where's the creativity?
