Trains! Hooray!

I was on a train yesterday (in fact, two trains, there and back again.) And was in a good mood, and noticed all the nice bits about trains. Trains are great. You glide through towns looking at peoples' back gardens, and seeing random things like Wimbledon Traincare Depot- they've got two massive train-washes there, you know. In fact a lot of the things you see from trains are cool; the backs of things are usually interesting, and there's a lot of greenery in towns that you don't really see from roads, and railway architecture is mostly better than road-related stuff. (One specific really cool thing yesterday was seeing the London Eye through the girders of Waterloo station- lots of horizontals and verticals, and then the gleaming ferris wheel outside.) And trains're really jolly fast, I think I've been delayed by traffic jams to a much greater degree than by leaves on the line, or whatever. And you don't get carsick in trains. The things that are wrong with trains are all, I think, to do with underfunding of public transport, because they themselves are really nifty. In fact thinking about them has made me happy all over again. Trains! Yay!
(Of course, I don't have to regularly commute by train. If I did, I might snarl about them as much as I do about the Tube.)

Went to ( the 99 Club )

it was fun, and cheap to get in (expensive booze, though.)
