Comfydown Cottage Address Withheld Carryduff Belfast Dear Translink
Well, at last Belfast has something to be truly and rightly proud of and it’s all down to you fine people at Translink. Who would have thought that we would ever be up there with Paris, New York, and indeed Moscow and have our very own Metro.
One thing that baffles ney indeed mesmerises me is how on earth did you create what obviously must be miles and miles and miles of tunnels under Belfast, it’s just staggering. How you did that and none of us knew and yet NTL (god forgive me) made a total horlicks of every road street and avenue in the land. Although I’m sure there will be a programme on the Discovery Channel of exactly what your secret was. Mind you my friend Walter Peek said he saw two Translink drivers down at the docks selling souvenir bags of Belfast dirt to the tourists off the cruise liners, so he might not be as off his head after all.
Clearly you will be very busy this weekend putting in the escalators that will take us down to the platforms and I know I as one cannot wait to see what it’s like down there. Will you have someone to say ‘Mine le gap nigh mine le gap’. Also, and I’m sure you thought of this already, but are your tunnels high enough for when the drivers play with the bus hydraulics (that must be a good laugh) better safe than sorry eh?
One word of advice though, your colour scheme……..it sucks. Sorry but it really is awful, mind you my wife Gloria (I’m her husband) says once the buses are underground the colour will look different, perhaps she’s right. Still what you have achieved is totally unique so once again, well done.
P.S Could send some pictures of the tunnels?
Yours Sincerely
