Extra-ordinary news from last night's Eversholt (nee HSBC) Rail Business Awards.
There were incredulous gasps when it was announced that Worst Group had won Business of the Year!
As Mary Grant glided onto the stage one hard-nosed operator was heard to spit:
"If First had put as much time into managing their demic franchises as they have obviously spent on making awards submissions they might actually have deserved it."
But the biggest laugh of the evening was reserved for the presentation of an award to FuCC for its communications skills!
No doubt furious Thameslink passengers, shivering on platforms and desperately trying to find out whether the train they're waiting for will actually run, are reassured to know that FuCC has an award winning Internal Comms team.
Talk about adding insult to injury!
Until these industry bunfights actually reflect the experience of the railway's paying customers they are in danger of doing more PR harm than good.
Meanwhile Eversholt must be wishing they'd stuck with their old branding.
