Virgin Trains said this on Twitter and ended up publicly owned

It was heroic – stupidly heroic, perhaps, but heroic, nonetheless – when whoever was looking after the Virgin Trains Twitter account decided to do this.

Trains be like “omg I love being a train I’m so fast haha look at me go”. It’s me, I’m trains.

And if they were hoping for a response they definitely got one. Just not, possibly, the one they were hoping for.

Or “omg the train I booked already has no room when I get on” joke of a company

Ironically in the replies you’re being publicly owned.
