Railtour names if Scotland votes yes

If the yes vote happens will the Great Britain name be changed and will The Jacobite becomeThe Jockabite

 

Don't worry - Network Rail [England] are installing buffers at Carlisle.

 

But they might be unnecessary if Transport Scotland get the Border Control established at Gretna Green first !

 

.

 

and what about "the Flying Scotsman"

 

So will I have to elope to Carlisle instead

 

No - Severn Tunnel Junction. It's just as romantic.

 

My Thai bride to be says he would prefer Carlisle

 

No need. The Jacobite represents (commemorates) a historical actuality and Great Britain is a geographic term. The United Kingdom will be what gets amended by a yes vote not the landmass. It is the same comparison as North America to the USA - the former includes Canada and part of Mexico the latter (USA) most definitely does not.

Name suggestion - the former Western Region name of The Capitals United could be recycled to a London Edinburgh tour as the The Capitals Disunited.

Please forgive this political view and what is a pro-Uk but not just an English view. Let us hope sanity prevails and the UK remains a single entity. As a Yorkshireman resident in the S West I think there is a problem but in my view it is the power of London not of most of England - all of the UK regions except the S East have a problem with London centric politics and views - together we are stronger is a very good slogan but wrongly targeted. Devolve London and the S East and leave the rest united.

 

Only when he says he likes Englishmen.

 

Aye Laddie - Scots get free drinks but the English are BARRED unless they show Scots affiliations

 

Nope - Carlisle is still subject to English Law so save your money and live in sin !

 

I am booked on the scottish lowlander will I need my passport?

 

We need to get 6024 up and running ASAP to sort these wayward Scots out!

 

How about renaming it Malleus Scotorum?

 

Careful, Edward Longshanks is still a divisive figure, not just in Scotland. ;-)

 

Priceless !!! well done H.

 

Aren't you giving away a part of Scotland doing that at GG?

 

Then name for these tours is easy to guess.

CANCELLED

 

Not if we leave the rest as "No-man's Land" in case of future border disputes then there is somewhere neutral to have discussions.
