I'm not aware of that (are we perhaps talking about the last train on a

I have no idea - I wouldn't feel safe catching that train.


Really? The 2315 often has a good contingent of dinner jackets coming
back from the opera etc, and the rest are half-asleep.


I was more thinking of the midnight-oh-four, or whatever it is. I
occasionally caught it in my student days - weird people they used to
get on it!

The 23:15 I don't often get, although the last time I did, I had a
bunch of drunk Freemasons, in said dinner jackets, being extremely
sexually pushy all the way to Cambridge. It was not a comfortable
experience.
