On a fairly regular basis The Daily Telegraph receives correspondence from readers about the railways. Some of these letters are very funny.
In August 2011 one such reader wrote:
"SIR - it is a surprise to me that while rail companies call their passengers 'customers' and trains 'services' they still use the outmoded 'stations' and 'platforms'. Perhaps customers of this newspaper can suggest modern alternatives."
Two days later the following response was published:
"SIR - How about ' Customer Regional Assembly Point' and 'Customer Rallying And Migration Pier'? In the interests of brevity, acronyms could be substituted."
Absolutely priceless.....
