(What's The Story?) Oasis Fans Mad For Special LNER Service
Ahead of the much-anticipated return of the legendary Oasis to the London stage, LNER delighted hundreds of fans on one of its services to the capital on Friday morning (25th July).
The ‘She’s Electric’ service, which featured a special Oasis-themed design on the cab of the train, departed Edinburgh Waverley at 09:00.
Upon arrival at King’s Cross, the gig-goers were surprised by a stripped back set from premier tribute band Oasiz.
The train carried fans from Edinburgh, Newcastle, Durham, Darlington, Northallerton, York, Doncaster, Newark Northgate and Peterborough southbound faster than a cannonball. ‘Mad fer it’ fans even had the chance to win Oasis-themed goodies including limited-edition bucket hats and t-shirts. Musician Keiran La Fox ran through some Oasis 90’s classics onboard too.
Stuart Thomas, Communications Director at LNER, said: “We couldn’t miss the opportunity to mark the much anticipated return of the Gallagher brothers, as we know thousands of gig goers will be using LNER this summer to get to Oasis gigs in Wembley and Edinburgh. Our 'She’s Electric' service made sure fans arrived feeling like a Rock N Roll Star with limited edition gear and plenty of onboard fun.”
