National Rail had the very best response to this Paul McCartney train gag

John Plunkett. Updated December 5th, 2022

It takes quite a turn to unite the internet in awe of the rail network but that’s what National Rail just did – sort of – with their winning response to this Paul McCartney gag over on Twitter.

First up, to the good people of @NoContextBrits and their gag about someone you might recognise.

Hello, @nationalrailenq. This man is sitting in my reserved seat and refuses to move, saying he has a ticket to ride. Please investigate. pic.twitter.com/bsh9qaOH6t

And it prompted lots of responses like these …

He said you could drive his car

He’s so tired. It’s been a hard day’s night.

I heard he works eight days a week.

“When I find myself in thameslink trouble…”

He had his car clamped by Lovely Rita, the meter maid.

Weird. He can also use his yellow submarine.

Ono 😱

… But surely no-one put it better than the @NationalRail account on Twitter.

Hi @NoContextBrits, we investigated your below query however, the person in question has made it very clear that he don’t care https://t.co/qzLLbrNJwL

Hits exactly the right note! And prompted a whole new slew of puntastic replies …

Did you tell him to get back to where he once belonged?

Still I suppose it beats taking the long and winding road

Was this Yesterday?

— Mart (@Moonraker_Mart) December 1, 2022

Going by the time stamp, yes. So no doubt, by now, OP will have offboarded that train and their troubles will seem so far away.

All the lonely people…

And a very important clarification …

that’s a Southeastern service which don’t offer seat reservations anyway 😂

Mate ….. Let it be 😂
