Well, not quite...

Joe Strummer, late front man of the legendary The Clash (and latterly of the Mescaleros), is to have a train named after him.

The Class 47 Diesel bearing his name will be unveiled at Bristol Temple Meads station this weekend. It'll operate on the East Anglia Line.

Does that go to London? Probably should, eh?

That story was made for that headline, surely.

Shouldn't it be 'that headline was made for that story?'

Watford gets a mention!

Sorry, I'm easily pleased. I live here so it's simple pleasures that get me by, really.

That's slighty random.

"It'll operate on the East Anglia Line" - Yeah, cuz obviously he was born in the east country... and not uhm, london.
