Valley Trains are held hostage

Arrivatrain

Under Seige: Arriva trains have been the scene of serious trouble

Train services in the valleys could be cancelled because of repeated attacks by various gangs… that is the stark message from rail bosses.

The breaking point came after Mexican bandits held up the Pontypridd to Tonypandy train last Friday. A gun battle took place between rail staff and the bandits, but finally the bandits took over the train. Then passengers and staff were made to eat hot chilli fajitas and wear large Mexican hats until dawn. No one was killed but a member of the rail staff grazed his knee and will probably be off work for 12 months.

In another serious incident Indians stopped the Ystrad Rhonnda train and scalped the ticket inspector and pinched a box of fire water (or gin to us) before taking two blonde haired young girls to become squaws. The poor ticket inspector, who as worked for the company for the past 103 years, is still unable to return to work and is looking for a good wig maker. CCTV cameras shows the red faced attackers surrounding the train from all sides before disabling its security system by sticking a lolly stick into it, preventing it from being able to move.

A spokesman for Arriva trains told us ‘Its getting worse. We have always had cases of gangs trying to pinch trains; Miners, nurses and the odd priest but these are not normal everyday people….Now we have Mexicans, Indians, Monsters, cave men…what next…bloody Nazis….i blame the government.”
