Inside View

On a recent train trip on regional rail, Basil rode in a cutaway spot in a second-row seat.

The seat directly in front is shorter than the others in order to allow the car’s door to open fully.  This makes a perfect slot for a Brompton, with the added advantage that neither the door nor the aisle are obscured by Basil.

For the first time in memory, the conductors on this train opened several car doors simultaneously.

Because Basil and I were sitting behind the cutaway seat, we got this great view all the way through the car in front of us, and beyond.  It’s easy to forget how long train carriages are; this sight made it look as if the car went on forever.
