Irony

A few days ago I posted up my views in support of comments made by Labour MEP Brian Simpson who has written an open letter to Network Rail about the state of our rail infrastructure (MEP talks rubbish).  I hadn't expected to be returning the same subject so soon...

Scattered across the tarmac at the exit to the Bletchley station car park this morning was a pile of papers:

Someone last night or early this morning had obviously been having a clear out and some of the material didn't make it to the skip which is out of picture on the right (above photo).

The papers

As you can see, we aren't talking one or two sheets.  This was a fair amount of papepr and whoever dropped it must have been aware.  It also looked damp, so it seems unlikely that the incident had just happened.

The papers looked official, so I couldn't stop myself having a closer look.

How ironic...  They include onboard train cleaner logs!!

On board cleaners attendance record...  Non-technicians
attendance record...  Etc, etc etc

Accidents happen (I should know!), but whover littered the station front with official railway papers really should have cleaned up after themselves...
