I very rarely go on the train. Had to change trains at Richmond en route to the Car on the other side of town. Got to see a lovely contrast of technology, a shiny and quiet new HCMT gliding in like it’s the shit, a doddery old diesel V/Line on the next platform, and my train is an old Alstom that looks like a cheap tin can on the outside (I hate the corrugated look) and doesn’t sound nearly as quiet as Shiny New Train…
Anyway, this might be the last time I take the train in quite a while. It’s pretty cool people watching. There is a guy whose hair is a messy, matted nest, with uneven facial hair and oily skin, dead eyes and a defiant scowl, but he’s wearing a clean, fresh, neatly pressed suit and tie! I’m going to guess IT. e: he got off at Malvern and had a nice-looking but well used laptop bag with him. He must be head of IT.
