It's a departure board for a train to Stratford International and "St Pancake", spotted at Ebbsfleet International.

This is not my photo; someone spotted it today at Ebbsfleet and put it on Reddit.

For anyone who's forgotten, it is in fact Shrove Tuesday today.

South Eastern were also giving away free pancakes at St Pancras as well, to celebrate Pancake Day

2 coaches? What stock is that?

The rolling eyes suggest it upsets you a little?

I think he's rolling his eyes at the quality of his own joke (or, dare I say it, lack thereof )

Indeed, it was probably that.

And my clarification is something for which you ought to be eternally crêpe-ful

I'll get my coat...

You'll probably find it's 12 coaches and the bottom line scrolls across-the-board. Just the timing of the pic.

I have very mixed feeling about this, I can see the amusing side, but I do wonder if it is wise. If I was in Europe, with an itinerary on my phone or printed and trying to ensure I caught the correct train this could be very confusing.

It depends on the station. If it were Leicester or Sheffield than maybe, but Ebbsfleet? I don't think there's a big risk...

Excellent.

London Loverpool Street?

Excellent.

Eggscellent.

 

[backontrack]

Eggscellent.

You're batter at these puns than I am.

 

[Darandio]

Happy Puncake Day everyone.

 

[Bletchleyite]

Eggscellent.

I thought it was a bit crêpe personally.

 

[D365]

Omelette you all carry on then.

 

[edwin_m]

Most of the passengers didn't give a toss.

 

[Bayum]

Anyone else read it as ‘St Pancrake’?

 

[TT-ONR-NRN]

Sigh. I ate jokes about pancakes. They’re so flipping annoying...

Tried to get two in one there but I’m not the funniest comedian

Well there were some cringeworthy and eye-rollingly awful recorded announcements at Eden Park this morning inviting people to do things like propose to their partner over the PA tomorrow.
Glad that I am not travelling with Southeastern again then.

Pan you please give it a rest?

I knew somebody on here would have a "thought" about this......... lighten up, no need to flip out. It's just a bit of fun.

 

[TT-ONR-NRN]

That’s a cracking yoke.

To be fair I do agree to some extent.

 

[Bletchleyite]

no need to flip out

Well, you kind of do need to flip, otherwise they'll be raw on one side and burnt on the other...

That is true, however on the flipside of this...

Almost as bad as GWR's #CoupleUp campaign...
