Yeah, all he or any of the band had to do was help me up and instead they all shout at me and make a hit record.
"Please, please please", I said. "You've got the power" and "I'm begging, I'm begging." I thought he was angry at my repetition, but he just said "no,no,no,no." It's the last time I travel on the Night Train.

Perhaps you should be taking the Midnight Train instead. It goes anywhere, after all.

I got to the station to take the Midnight Train, but the Last Train to London was leaving at the same time and I got on that.

I have taken the train across the US three times. Twice to San Diego and once to Seattle.

I love taking trains here in Europe. Scenic, efficient, and I don't have to worry so much about packing right.

A train trip across Europe sounds like an excellent idea.

They've just changed timetables in part of the UK and, like seemingly everything else, it has turned into a bit of a scheduling disaster.

When I was in Sydney this year, they were having trouble with their trains. IIRC 30 trains were canceled on one day. At one point stations had to be closed because too many people were trying to get into them to wiat for trains that weren't coming.

Sounds like a normal day in Manila...
Blaze used to have to spend over 30 minutes in line just to get on the train for work. He had to clock in at 8:30am, but needed to be at the train station by 5:30am to avoid that long wait...

When I was in Barcelona, I could do that. Now here in Paris, I need 90 minutes... because my place of work is outside Paris.
In Manila, I needed 70 minutes to drive 10km to work.

That's just one of the good things about sharing information across the world. Getting a sense of perspective

In Kingdom Come, the Martian Manhunter let his mind wander too far, and it meant that he struggled to focus.

When Krypto wonders too far, it's hard for the Super-family to focus.

They must hate having to apologise to all the passengers every time he brings back a a plane. It must also completely give away who Superboy is.

Reminds me of the scene in Superman where a young Lois sees Clark Kent racing the train.
