toot, toot, whistle, puff, page-3

Hmmmm ! Humph !
Well this train has had so many maintenance issues to contend with that it is badly behind schedule.

I'm wondering whether this is just the Local Commuter. A lot of huffing and puffing but schedules and performance are a minor consideration.

I was hoping that the tickets I got were on the Express.

I know I would have liked them on the Bullet train but I recognised that this was still using steam technology so I was prepared for a slightly slower trip.

Ah..... but I was hoping to be further down the track and going a little bit faster than the present situation. Track maintenance issues indeed !

Okay we are getting well stocked up with fuel having just about taken another US$133,000 on board so that late goods delivery is welcome.

Oh well...better read my book while I wait..... "How to become a Millionaire"
