trains

On the train to london. We had our seats reserved in advance, as most people do these days, and boarded the train, found our coach and headed for the seats. I have no idea who came up with the numbering system for train seats, but they have nothing to do with numerical order. We booked two tickets at the same time for a train that’s not particularly full and were issued two seats four rows apart with numbers that didn’t exist. So where our seats were supposed to be is anyone’s guess, we just sat somewhere that had the same start and end as our journey and stuck with it. Also, I prefer the virgin trains, their toilets are big enough to get in without having to be some kind of midget contortionist. That is all. For now.
