Who would have thought the commuting could be so exciting?

On a sunny summer’s day TPR and I caught the red steam train from Bath to Bristol. Because we were the second and third people to board, we won the privilege to carry the train’s whistle and loud hailer. The man ahead of us was awarded the top prize: a French horn.

The trip only last 5 minutes, and the carriage was packed, so I was a bit disappointed that there wasn’t room or time to take any decent photographs. However, catching a glimpse of Puffing Billy at the end of the line more than made up for this.
