The Ticket Collector


The Times = Theiving Bastards

January 13, 2007 on 11:26 pm | In Franchise, GNER, Route |

It Seems that the theiving bastards more commonly known as The Times have decided to steal content of this site. We all know that most of the people that read The Times are a bunch of dinosaur thatcherite tories. Also the people that work for News International well I better not say because I want google to keep listing this blog as a clean friendly blog.

Well The Times have stolen the content of this site and NOT linked back.

The Times has learnt that as few as four groups are expected to submit expressions of interest in the service, which is expected to be worth more than £1 billion and run for up to 7½ years, when a deadline expires on Monday.

I wonder how they have learnt this hmmm. Was it because we were leaked to first and The Times were pissed of that they were left out of the frame as per normal because they are a crap paper? Makes you think that we reported the news first and The Times reported afterwards?

The Times understands that Arriva, National Express, FirstGroup and a joint venture between Virgin and Stagecoach will submit expressions of interest. A question mark hangs over the possibility of a fifth, joint bid from Serco and the Dutch rail operator NedRailways.

There we go again, cut and pasted from our blog. Needless to say we have had a new document leaked today from an unnamed source at the DfT, but to be honest its not going to be published because the greedy wankers from The Times will steal it.

  1. Outrageous if it’s true. How can you be sure they nicked it from this site? Have you considered publishing the second doc to see if they pick up on that? ou’ll know for sure if they do. It’s got to be illegal if guilty.

    Finally I hope you noticed I gave you full credit and a link. Fairs fair mate. You deserve it.

  2. I might pass the document to you to publish. Give you an exclusive so to speak!!! Thanks for the link, I always like to read other bloggers views on GNER. I know this blog loves to slag GNER but it really started as a blog purly for FCC.
    It seems to be branching out to other TOCS now!!!
