Things I love about train travel:
1) The romanticism of it
2) The building excitement as you reach your destination (in this case an amazing gig)
3) The person sat a few seats away from you who you fall in love with,
despite the fact that you never speak to them, only to find to your
dismay that they aren't alighting at your station.
4) Children who find the whole concept of train travel fascinating (in an adorable way)
Things I hate about train travel:
1) Switching trains
2) Delays
3) The obligatory mad person (on the outward journey she sat telling whichever unfortunate person it was on the other end of the phone that she is in fact normal. The fact that she had to clarify this made me suspicious. On the return journey he ate an entire fresh pineapple using a penknife.)

5) Children who find the whole concept of train travel fascinating (in an annoying way)
6) Judgmental passengers (it was the effects of caffeine and nothing stronger)
