Got the train from Reading to Hong Kong once. It was pretty amazing.

When I was a kid I had a young person’s railcard which allowed me to upgrade myself and two friends to first class for very little extra. It was always fun to see the guard come in to first class and see us scruffy leather jacketed herberts, thinking he’s got a score for his card. The disappointment in his face when he saw our tickets and realised that we were all legal and above board was a sight to see.

I’m on a train right now, it’s very cold and the man next to me likes the sound of his own voice but the scenery is very pretty

Do you like the sound of his voice?

Oh man that’s so good. I want to go on a train and listen to it.

I also treasure these memories…and the dirty looks you got from Business Types. Yes I have paid £5 to be here and I am getting as much free stuff as possible.

Our return journey for ^this is premium all the way (was £10 extra each, which is a no brainer for 6 hours of train time). Looking forward to some sniffy looks. “Yes, she may well only be six years old but she’ll still have another glass of red thank you very much…”

When a posh person show you their reservation ticket for the seat you know you have a reservation for and you get to point out to them that their reservation is for tomorrow.
