East Midlands Trains breached rules

Well apparently EMT ran a competition for people to send in ideas about how to "build back better" (whatever the hell that's supposed to mean ).

The prize was to be £5k for the best idea - except that they decided all the entries were no good and so scrapped the competition without giving anybody a prize.

That's naughty - and the ASA thinks so too.

Linky here...EMT breached advertsising rules

I saw that too! I bet the suggestions were things like free travel & Derby to St Pancras in 3 minutes please!

Haha.

I'd be inclined to put in a idea where the directors all get their salaries doubled and they take the seats out of the trains so that more people can travel.

I'll bet that would tempt them...

Quite an embarrassment for EMT when they ask for ideas about improving their service and probably get a stream of abusive replies from the public.
Predictable though I suppose.
