Thank fuck we don't need to use them and we get the Hogwarts Express or can travel by the Floo Network instead.

Anything from the trolley dears?

I mean it's nice that they point out that the lesbian flag is trans-inclusive.

It always warms me when they add trans inclusive to something that is actually an "adult human female" thing, almost acknowledging that TW, are in actual fact, NW.

😂Such numpties the lot of them

I had the misfortune of travelling on the Avanti Progress train last week - I wish I could boycott but it’s the only rail link between the NW and London.

Lots of travellers ‘true self’ and ‘being you’ involves not paying a fare. Good to know LNER will make them comfortable being their full fare-dodging selves.

We want everyone to be their true selves and feel comfortable ‘being you’. That’s whether you work for us, travel with us or are part of the diverse communities we serve.

Excellent! The one thing you can do to help my identity feel valid is run your trains on time for a reasonable price.

"Reasonable price" will be the last thing you'll get out of LNER. They recently doubled their fares (naturally they're spinning it differently).

Where is the "no we don't have a ramp, why are you being so awkward" flag?

I'm asexual, I don't want a shag at all so I'm v pleased to be represented here.
Every time i get on a train I'm asked about this.
Oh wait, no, I'm fucking not, but I am a disabled woman who could use some help.
Jeez, it's a joke.

Exactly.

Creepy blokes hitting on us isn’t more of an issue because of our [absence of] sexuality; being at the mercy of passenger “assistance” & Schrödinger’s ramps, however, really is.

Aw, that's nice. They want everyone to be their true selves.

Even if your true self is a sex offender that likes to assault women on the rail network?

So LNER are taking it upon themselves to tell lesbians and gays they must be T inclusive.

LNER, a train company, are telling people who they have to accept as sexual partners.

Look at the "gay" and the "lesbian" flags.

Oh FFS

None of the lesbians I know would wave that flag.

Or the flag for ‘if you let us know a month in advance we can arrange special assistance but when our train breaks down, or is unexpectedly cancelled mid way, even though we know there is a vulnerable person on the train in needs of special assistance, you are on your own’

Riapia · 08/02/2024 18:37

What about a FFS flag.

It's somehow aptly metaphorical that the page froze and hung up.

Here's my train flag.
