A train service into Waterloo was temporarily renamed 'Trainy McTrainface' today.

The new name helped brighten the journey for passengers on the Portsmouth to Waterloo line.

South West Trains say the change of name came courtesy of one of their guards who simply wanted to give customers something to smile about.

The name change came after it emerged a new £200 million ship could be named Boaty McBoatface after an online poll was run to find a name for the vessel.

The #NameOurShip campaign was launched on Thursday 17 March and thousands of people have already offered their suggestions.

RRS Boaty McBoatface is currently holding the top spot - well ahead of the other contenders.
