Trains have joined my list of things to hate. I have spent the last fifteen odd hours either on, or waiting for a train. It didn't help that someone had decided to jump on the line further up the track so my train was delayed by half an hour. And it was freezing.
Now I usually like trains. I have no issue with them. they're usually on time, they stop, they take on and off passengers and they go. they're wonderfully efficient. But in that half hour extra wait I decided I would now hate them.
It perhaps did not help that I was tired from a restless night, and this particular train was a sleeper. I was expecting perhaps little beds or something, not some uncomfortable chairs. I think I got some but little sleep. The noises of the train juddering snapped me awake on occasion. I dislike it when things sound unsafe. and trains do sound unsafe. Perhaps I don't generally notice it when I'm awake and happily playing away on my gameboy or laptop. but today I did. and it made me feel like the train would fall apart any second! It was very nerve wrecking!
But I survived thankfully. And now I will have to live with a day of running around trying to be active and enthusiastic. and I'm far too tired. I blame the train. because if it hadn't had the air conditioning on I'm sure i would have slept much better. and now I just feel terrible.
So yes, I hate trains.
