Kernow Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Arguing with Virgin Trains on Twitter. Easier to look at the tweets in one place on this article. I'd rather have drones than see us do this to be honest. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3821662/Aston-Villa-Virgin-Trains-Twitter-war-train-provider-makes-jibe-sacking-Roberto-Di-Matteo.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Thought it was funny when I first saw it. Virgin Trains look a bit silly though boasting that they have had more than 4 trains on time in the last 12 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaspode Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Incredibly unprofessional from whoever is responsible for the Virgin Trains twitter feed - suspect there may be a new vacancy at Virgin Trains pretty soon..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteHorseRam Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 A truly massive management opportunity for somebody. Villa is the definition of a sleeping giant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRamFan Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Just like the gumps, have to go back to the last century to show anything of worth. Hope they get relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if they were a blue nose? Funny from the outside but no real winner, Virgin are rubbish at times, Villa have been most of the time lately.

RadioactiveWaste Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 The list of things virgin trains can take the weewee out of is quite short. I struggle after "Syria Tourist Board".... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 It is especially amazing that Virgin trains manage to be so poor at timekeeping given that they get preferential treatment on London routes. The amount of times my London Midland train has been stopped to let a Virgin train that has higher priority through is maddening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgin Trains look a bit silly though boasting that they have had more than 4 trains on time in the last 12 months. This. As comebacks go 'we've had more trains in time this week, than you've had wins this year' is not a good one. So out of own any hundreds of trains you run in a week, at least 5 have been on time. Well done you. A train coming on time is something that is to be expected, not congratulated, it should be the norm, not something to boast about.

Millenniumram Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 The original joke was quite good bug the rest of that was frankly embarrasing, not even remotely funny- quite dissapointed, these twitter rants are normally hilarious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have to ask why it's unprofessional, there's little point in me explaining it to you - yes they got a lot of attention as a result, but as Gerald Ratner found to his cost, there most certainly is bad publicity....

Meanwhile the brain surgeon experts on here have vilified Steve Bruce before he even stops laughing at getting our poison chalice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
