A work experience lad took over Southern Rail’s Twitter feed and, er, something nice happened
Twitter. It’s not just there for the nasty things in life.
Like when Eddie the work experience teen took over Southern Rail’s Twitter feed and just for an afternoon its 161,000 followers forgot all about over-priced poorly run commuter trains, and had some fun instead.

It has to be the chicken fajitas ^Eddie

Wise move Eddie, wise move! Let’s hope that @Se_Railway get me home on time tonight!

Hi, what service will you be on tonight? Be sure to make me some! ^Eddie

Hi Eddie! Would you rather fight 1 horse sized duck or 100 duck sized horse?
— Adam Winstone (@adam_winstone) July 11, 2017
100 duck-sized horses. A horse-sized duck would be pretty scary! You? ^Eddie
— Southern (@SouthernRailUK) July 11, 2017
I don’t think I’ve got the stamina to fight 100 of anything. I’m taking my chances with the giant duck
— Adam Winstone (@adam_winstone) July 11, 2017
Suite yourself, a horse-sized duck would be pretty ferocious ^Eddie

Oh god Eddie, why are they doing this to you…they’re not even paying you.
Run, run better than Southern Rail.

Hello Eddie, can I break my journey at East Croydon using an Off Peak Day Return from Gatwick Airport to London Victoria?
— Max Fassbrause (@MaxFassbrause) July 11, 2017
Hi Max, as you have an off-peak ticket, you can stop anywhere between Victoria and Gatwick. ^Eddie
— Southern (@SouthernRailUK) July 11, 2017
Will the ticket be retained by the barrier at ECR? In this case, I should better approach station staff, right?
— Max Fassbrause (@MaxFassbrause) July 11, 2017
It shouldn’t but just in case you may as well ask station staff to let you out. ^Neil
— Southern (@SouthernRailUK) July 11, 2017
Wait, who’s Neil and what have you done with Eddie?
— rapgamelikeleviathan (@AlexLeeDee) July 11, 2017
I’m still here! ^Eddie
— Southern (@SouthernRailUK) July 11, 2017
Thank God for that. I was getting concerned and had a swat team ready. We’ve got your back Eddie. Grand job!

Thanks, John. How has your day been? ^Eddie|
— Southern (@SouthernRailUK) July 11, 2017
It’s been magnificent Eddie. Are you enjoying your work experience? Don’t look directly into the eyes of senior management btw pic.twitter.com/2gNTADKP1w
— John Brown (@brownbare) July 11, 2017
Hi John, I am enjoying it very much, thanks. I couldn’t look into their eyes because I can’t reach! ^Eddie
