Elizabeth the Great

Aptly enough for something named after a monarch whose reign started with the Kenyan Emergency and the Suez Crisis and ended with the National Johnson and La Truss, the Elizabeth Line is experiencing one or two technical difficulties. Along with services named, respectively, after a major pollution hub and a rail network that was founded in 1833 and closed the year India was partitioned, the Madge Gawblesser Railway experienced an unscheduled non-mobility incident as a result of an electrical fault, apparently when some cables were fallen on by the wrong kind of leaves. Some delays achieved so British a magnitude that the batteries powering the backup systems ran out and left passengers in conditions approximating those of shirkers and scroungers, although one who described the experience to the Press was prudent enough to compare it to wartime instead.
