Train Story - Passenger Complaint

The following is allegedly an exchange of correspondence between a customer and the Irish Railway Company [Larnrod Eireann]. Kindly sent in by John Morris

Gentlemen, Train Stories - Passenger Complaint

I have been riding your trains daily for the last two years, and the service on your line seems to be getting worse every day. I am tired of standing in the aisle all the time on a 14-mile trip. I think the transportation system is worse than that enjoyed by people 2,000 years ago.

Yours truly,

Patrick Finnegan

Reply from Larnrod Eireann Railways

Dear Mr. Finnegan,

We received your letter with reference to the shortcomings of our service and believe you are somewhat confused in your history. The only mode of transportation 2,000 years ago was by foot.

Sincerely,

Larnrod Eireann.

Last word from Mr FinneganBalaam rode to town on his ass

Gentlemen,

I am in receipt of your letter, and I think you are the ones who are confused in your history If you will refer to the Bible and the Book of David, 9th Chapter, you will find that Balaam rode to town on his ass. That, gentlemen, is something I have not been able to do on your train in the last two years!

Yours truly,

Patrick Finnegan

Another Funny Train Story

Roger was on a train, mumbling to himself, smiling, and then raising his hand. After a moment of silence, he would go through the same process … mumble, smile, raise hand, silence.

Maggie watched this closely, and after about ¼ an hour, she said, in a concerned voice, 'Excuse me. Is anything the matter?'

'Oh, no,' Roger answered. 'It's just that these long trips get very tedious so I tell myself jokes.'

'Why then, inquired Maggie, 'do you keep raising your hand?'

 'Well,' smiled Roger, 'that's to interrupt myself because I've heard that joke before.'

Here is a train report from Indonesia

Security officers from Jakarta will spray commuters riding on the roofs of trains with a brightly coloured liquid so that they can be identified and arrested.

Trains linking Jakarta and its neighbouring towns are packed with passengers during the rush hour.  As a result youngsters sit on the roofs to avoid paying.

After several attempts to discourage roof riders, the state owned railway company PT Kereta Api will spray them with a coloured liquid so that officers can identify them when they get off the train, the Jakarta Post said.

'We will confiscate their IDs and give them a ticket,' Kereta Api regional spokesman Akhmad Sujadi was quoted as saying.

'We will send a copy of the ticket to their family, their local neighbourhood unit head, their employer, or, if they're students, their headmasters,' added Sujadi, who described the move as 'unique'.

Although illegal, roof riding is popular because of a lack of efficient and affordable means of transport for commuters in the greater Jakarta area.  Unfortunately, 55 roof riders have been killed in the past two years.

Mad or What? - Another of our funny stories about trainsMad or what? Kung fu train.

A 17-year-old boy surnamed Liang almost died when he tried to use a kung fu movement to stop a train in Laibin Railway Station in South China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region on Tuesday reports China Daily.

Liang was pushed to safety by a railway policeman just as he was about to be knocked down. Liang jumped down to the tracks and wanted to use Xianglongshibazhang, a famous kung fu posturing described in many swordsman fictions, to stop the running train. He was taken into custody for breaking railway rules and said he wanted to test whether or not he could use kung fu to stop the train. Liang is a great fan of swordsman fiction and has also learnt martial arts.
