Title: Are you suffering Rolling Stock-holm syndrome?
Post by: Bmblbzzz on February 13, 2020, 17:51:16
Do you experience feelings of identification and affection with Pacers? Are you slightly excited despite yourself by the cloacal odours of a ripe Voyager? Does it give you a secret frisson to find yourself in the wrong part of a 2x5 IET? Are you, in short, such a geek of railway vehicularism that you bond with it even as you curse its hold over your life? Then you are suffering Rolling Stock-holm syndrome!

I just came across this phrase elseweb (a cycling forum, oddly) but apparently it originated "on a podcast explaining Pacers to Americans". It needs to be shared!

Who would have guessed SEWWEB had a Spanish arm?
