The Twitter account @BadSouthernRail is mocking Southern Rail and it’ll improve your commute

And they deserve all of it – which is why we’re glad to have spotted this account taking the piss out of it.

Apologies for the strike this week, we've tried everything to prevent it from a campaign of Twitter abuse to really hoping it's cancelled.
