Alarms on the excursionsComing home from
Embra after my last lecture this semester we graced the 1730
Glasga to
Lunnon GNER as far as
Berwick.Obviously. The familiar and so often
repetitive 'Attention Train Crew . Disabled Passenger Alarm activated' sounded out twice before Dunbar and twice after. No one took any notice-as least amongst the crew that I could see-refreshment trolleys trundled, service of dinner called, mind the gap with your not forgotten luggage announced and disabled passenger alarms ignored. As the ticket collector opined clipping my offering:-'On the blink as bloody usual' Halfway to Berwick it sounded a fifth and rather desperate note. Life went on.
Just before a Berwick a very large and very angry man came hissing and puffing down the train. His face was red and his trousers moist in patches. He was very angry. And he was on crutches
And he meant business.
Attention Train Crew :
Disabled Passenger imminent attack alarm activated.Take cover.
