We need to use an additional #rescue train due to a problem with the original rescue train.

Honest and clear to the problem at hand. They had a Plan D also which they hoped not to need to use (They said that to another tweeter themselves). It was also April Fools Day so the sense of irony made me chuckle.

My record is the signal gantry falling over in Taunton in 2009... At the time I thought that was an April Fools Day joke... 3 hours worth of delay later my mind was firmly agreeable to there being a miniscule problem... Mr Ali Olprof was not responsible ;D
