Its main purpose in life may be to get passengers to and from big, polluting jets, but that hasn't stopped the Gatwick Express making the green gesture of offering a free, environmentally-friendly Christmas gift wrapping service on board its trains.
The idea is that busy customers can bring their own recycled wrapping materials (suggestions include tin foil, newspapers, shirts and plastic bags) on to trains in the last hectic days before Christmas, and hand them over to professionally trained gift wrappers.
These crafty geniuses will then turn your offerings into small works of art that you'd be proud to hand over to your great auntie in Canada when you reach your final destination. Am I the only one thinking it could be fun to bring along some really bizarre materials and see how good a job they do? The service will be available between 15h00 and 18h00 from Saturday 20 December through to Wednesday 24 December 2008.
