I took the last train home last night - the train that leaves north station at 12:10a.m. and if you're not on it you're staying in town overnight or your overly indulgent friends are giving you a ride home.
Weird people take the last train. I swear the two guys sitting nearest to me were time travelers, almost used to this century, but not quite. They wore hats! Not ball caps, but real hats - a straw boater and a trilby, to be exact.
The train is full of stories, and I think I need to spend more time on the train, gathering stories and seeing what I can do with them. My time travelers clearly belong to Diana Wynne Jones, but maybe a character of my very own will wander by for me.
