TransPerth has attempted to soothe the limey burn of losing to Spain last night with some words of reassurance to Perth’s northern suburbs Englishmen & women that they can rely on the new train services.
The rail extension on the former Joondalup Line opened yesterday to much fanfare from those who have previously felt a little disconnected with Perth.
A spokesperson for TransPerth told The Times,
“Unlike football our services are comin’ ommmmeeee lad! To Yanchep, Eglington and Alkimos. You can rely on TransPerth to get the job done!”
We spoke to a tired, grumpy English soccer fan who said TransPerth’s announcement this morning had indeed taken the sting out of the dissapointing result. Adding,
“Well if you don’t have football what do you have? Been waiting for a train up to Alkimos for years and now we got one innit? At least I’m comin’ ome”
Other English expats aren’t thrilled with the announcement and have considered it rubbing salt into the wound.
In protest they are going to complain about the new services for the duration of their natural lives.
As the good lord intended it.
