Remember Boaty McBoatface the polar research vessel? Now we have Ctrl Alt Deleaf the leaf cleaning train

A train driver showing off the name of Network Rail's new leaf buster train, Ctrl Alt Deleaf.

As reported by Metro, the British public has voted to name the savior of their railways: Ctrl Alt Deleaf, the leaf cleaning train. After Boaty McBoatface was renamed the RSS Sir David Attenborough back in 2018 in a historic moment of "stop having fun, guys," it's nice to see this vote go with the people's choice. Now Ctrl Alt Deleaf will be bravely leading the charge to keep the UK's railways clear of leaves this fall.

Among the other equally silly names in the running were "Leaf-Fall Weapon," "Pulp Friction," and the "Autumn Avenger." Despite that competition, "Ctrl Alt Deleaf" won with a commanding 50% of the vote.
