This Train Is Doing Valentine's Day Better Than You

Need another reminder that instead of spending Valentine's Day in a hot tub with Christian Grey, instead you're stuck on a cranking commuter train? You're in luck.

South West Trains have gone pundamentally potty for Valentine's Day, renaming many of their routes after popular romcoms or loose metaphors.

Ok - we think Truly, Madly Eastleigh is pretty good.

Are we missing something with the Basingstoke, Four Weddings gag?

This is less imaginative, that's just alliteration.

Perhaps they're hoping this will distract from the train clearly being 17 minutes late...

"Hampton Courting" - the place where Henry VIII married his final wife Catherine Parr, and then mercifully died before he could try to behead her too. Romance, eh?

This chap's happy. He must be in love.

Ah well, guess we can get on board with it...
