Southeastern rolls out pancake celebrations

Southeastern rolls out pancake celebrations: Passenger hosts with pancakes

Today, Southeastern has surprised passengers travelling on its network by changing London St Pancras to ‘London St Pancake’ on all display screens to celebrate the day.

Passengers have joined in the fun on social media, with passenger Dee Wilkinson (@Trelawnysman) posting “Nice touch @Se_Railway which reminds me I need to buy eggs tonight…” 

In addition to the name change, Southeastern is wishing passengers a flippin’ good Pancake Day with surprise pancake giveaways at stations including London Bridge, Cannon Street, Ladywell, Lee and Dartford.

Passenger Ellie Burton (@_ellieburton) tweeted “Welcome to London St Pancake. Have a flipping great day!” Well played @Se_Railway, well played.”

David Wornham, Passenger Services Director at Southeastern said: “The chance to do something a little differently that puts a smile on our passengers’ faces – it doesn’t get any ‘batter’ than that! We hope those who are able to pick up a pancake today enjoy their delicious treat.”
