I just like to travel on trains

I yawn.

Rotund Asian man, mid 30s, with Prince Naseem haircut: Are you tired?

Yes, a little bit.

I’m tired too. I’ve been travelling for 14 hours today, since 7 this morning.

That’s a long day.

Yes, a long day.

Where have you come in from?

Milton Keynes.

I hear Milton Keynes is interesting. Lot of straight roads, very modern.

Yes, it is very nice.

What did you do there?

Had a look around, went to a café for a cup of tea coffee.

And now you’re off to Wolverhampton?

Yes, I’m going to Wolverhampton and then I catch the train back to Coventry.

That’s a lot of travelling.

I like travelling on trains. Have you got a job?

Yes. In London.

I don’t need to work. My parents give me 350 a week so I don’t need to. Every day, I travel. I go out in the morning and don’t get back until they are in bed.

That’s great.

Yes, next week, I have booked to stay in Leeds for a fortnight, so I can travel around there.

I like Leeds.

It is my favourite city. It means I can go up to Edinburgh during the day, and come back to Leeds at night. Are you married?

No.

My parents want me to get married but I don’t want to. I just like to travel on trains.
