Chiltern Railways took this David Bowie joke very seriously indeed and it’s today’s best thing
Even for the news it’s excelling itself today so here’s a rather fabulous exchange on Twitter – no, really! – to make your day better.
It all began when @simonnread shared this lovely old picture of David Bowie reading Viz on the train.
It was made even better by @NickGoodway’s reply and was then taken to a whole new level by ‘FK’ over at @chilternrailway.

And here it is again, just in case that’s tricky to read in full.
Oh, you pretty things.
There’s always the chance they were in on the joke, obviously, and yet …

At least the Future Legend is on the train and not (Always) Crashing in the Same Car.
Good advert for #Viz there.

Is he going station to station?

As long as they don’t lean on him because he can’t afford a ticket to Suffragette City.

Last word to @NickGoodway.
Hi, that was a jokey reference. Chiltern passengers are actually among the best berhaved and polite in the country. And I don't mind letting them know that. As for that David Bowie……
