Subject: Commuters express concern as Thomas the Tank Engine falls to the power of Chaos
Residents of the island of Sodor have expressed concern today after Thomas the Tank Engine was corrupted by demons of the Warp and pledged his soul to the Ruinous Powers.
Islanders were first alerted to the change when scything blades attached to the formerly cheery, fun-loving locomotive cut everyone waiting on the platform off at the knees as he hurtled past belching unholy flame from his chimney.
The addition of spikes, storm bolters and hellguns to the little engine’s chassis is expected to make the task of boarding the 9:25am express in the morning really rather difficult, and could result in delays and cancellations.
“Having an heretical engine hauling the coal train from the mine to Cudlee Fell could be a concern but I’m sure it’s something we can resolve very easily,” the Fat Controller told us, before leaving to tell Thomas to stop being so naughty or he’d be put in the engine shed for an entire weekend.
However, the Fat Controller was last seen howling in mortal anguish as his soul was consumed by Thomas’ infernal firebox to fuel his lust for skulls in the service of Khorne.
“Steam for the Steam God! Coal for the coal throne!”, Thomas is reported to have screamed in a mixture of repulsive joy and torment as he devoured Sir Topham Hatt’s very essence to fuel his lust for war.
Taking the name ‘Thomas the Daemon Engine”, the newly corrupted machine will run a service between the town of Tidmouth and the dark city of Commorragh twice a day.
“It could be worse,” passengers told us. “We could have to commute by First Great Western.”
Worrying developments indeed. Hopefully the staff won't go on strike.

New Heavy Gear Log! Also...Grey Knights! The correct pronunciation is Imperial Guard and Stormtroopers, "Astra Militarum" and "Tempestus Scions" are something you'll find at Hogwarts.

Khorneate trains run on time, this could be an improvement. Scything blades are not a as big a worry as they are made out to be, that is what the yellow platform lines are for.
As most of our rail operators worship Nurgle in his aspect as the god of entropy, with extra points for filth, I think having Khorne run the rail services means thing are looking up.

Thomas thought hard about his predicament. He sure did love skulls and Percy seemed to having fun in Ultimar Segmentum, but he'd promised Khorne he'd get the Beserkers to Nocturne on time.
"I'm certain a little slaughter won't make me too late." Thomas told percy
Percy whistled happily. It was a whistle of entropy, of void, of the death of hope and the mourning of lost stars for one of their own. There was a glorious agony in that whisle. "Skulls for the Skull Throne!" He chirped.
"Yay", shouted Thomas, and threw more innocents in the boiler. "Skulls for the Skull Throne!"

Whilst whoever decides ticket prices clearly worships tzeentch. It's the only explanation for the bizarre system of different tickets, price structures and discounts. Also it would explain fact that train doors close 40 seconds before they departure time. Why? Why not have trains doors close at the timetabled time and have leave 40 seconds after the published departure time?!?!?!?!

Because then they'd have to advance the departure time 40 seconds

By the Golden Throne this is so true. Last time I bought a ticket I asked for an open return to London, the price was given as £54 from Shrewsbury. I said that it had to be cheaper than that as I was travelling off peak, the ticket seller confirmed that there was no cheaper off peak ticket, so I asked to see the ticket. It was a Virgin rail ticket, so I asked about using London Midland and was quietly reminded that you have to specifically ask for a ticket by another rail operator in order to not be offered only Virgin rail tickets. So I asked again, and was offered a ticket at £34 for the same journey, but admittedly on a different rail service. I sad that was not the price I had paid before and asked for my ticket how I usually say it: "the cheapest fare with all the buzzwords". This is how I got the super off peak return saver for £24, you have to say the word super when asking for the ticket in order to et the last £10 off.
This isn't the worst of it, once I travelled for £26 on a different journey when the first offered price was over a hundred pounds more, and no that didn't include first class.

Slaanesh plays a part. The endless supply of commuters willing to put themselves through the pain of travel for that one elusive bit of pleasure, finding a spare seat during peak travel time. She revels in their anguish.

Forgot the glorious pain as season ticket holders watch it go up as they have to renew it everywhere year while there salary remains the same.
