‘Shit’ only accurate word for trains

BRITAIN’S train services are impossible to describe without an excrement comparison, it has emerged.

As Tfl boss Sir Peter Hendy apologised for his honest description of commuter trains as shit, he struggled to find an alternative word.

He said: “I am sorry I said the trains were shit. They’re actually…they’re like…

“In terms of their characteristics, the trains are unreliable, expensive, dirty and overcrowded. The sandwiches are really expensive and taste of the crypt. So in summary you might say they’re…you know…

“I’m a little stuck here.”

Commuter Wayne Hayes said: “The trains are shit. They are the very essence of shitness, the shit thing by which all other shit things are measured.

“If I wanted to be original about it I might say they were wank. But wank does not quite nail it.”
