I have to be honest - there was a part of me that was worried that the departure of Bart Schmeink would mean the orange influence on Merseyside would disappear. I nervously anticipated the appointment of a "Bert Carr" or a "Sean Druckett" or a "Philomena Mellencamp" and we'd go all boringly English. But no: with the arrival of Maarten we have a man whose name is so Dutch it should come with a free bunch of tulips and some pornography. I couldn't be more pleased.
Sad though I am to see the great Mr Schmeink leave, I look forward to the arrival of the Spaargaren Regime at the end of the month. I'm available for a pint of Grolsch any time, Maarten.

Can this be true?1? You've already got the man himself following the blog and providing emoticons?!?!
More Dutch running Britain's railway network please!
I see that you are now the top 2 Google results for "Sean Druckett" and "Philomena Mellencamp".
More importantly, and I can't quite believe this after all this time, you've achieved top 2 status for the phrase "Merseyrail flip flops" as well.
