I spent all day on the train today and arrived back where I'd started!
Took my godmother's eight-year old nephew back to his home town of Wakefield, dropped him off at the station and got straight back on the train to London. Quite a surreal feeling to spend the whole day travelling a significant part of the country and not really going anywhere - I'm sure there's a performance in that!
It was quite interesting to watch how people obviously assumed that I was his mother - I then had quite a lot of fun imagining what sort of scenario they must be inventing in their head to create some sort of story for us. It was interesting to play up to this.

That is very interesting indeed.
I don't really have to chance to bring a child with me, but if I could, I think most of the people would be more interested in whether I am the role of father or mother, haha!
Actually I am usually the one who assume others!

Oops, terrible typo..
have "THE" chance
hi lizzie, i'm collecting train stories for my project, can i use this? send me any others that come to mind - there aren't any rules except that it has to be a bit true and a bit to do with trains!
