    I was early to the train station with my coworker. We met a lot of people still waiting for the train before ours on the same platform. Suddenly, that other train was dropped from the display and replaced by our train. Seconds later, their train simply rushed through on a different track.

      I’ve heard of those trains. Or rather I saw one in a movie about a train that had to “speed” around a city keeping its “speed” over 50 and if its “speed” dropped, it would explode. I think it was called… “The Train That Couldn’t Slow Down.”

        No, the train just skipped a station, and our train, going in the same direction, was coming in almost on time a few minutes later.

        It was a bit crowded, though, and of course they lost their seat reservations.

        Yeah those are common in Europe. Most people just wave at Sandra when they pass by.
