Trains - newbie advice please

On Friday I will attending a rather alcoholic lunch and have been advised that the method of transport I should use is the train. Please explain what I need to do. I have a station for these vehicles within walking distance but what happens when I arrive at the terminal? All advise needed. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

I hear you stand at the platform in front of the yellow line on the floor and put you hand out in a hitchhiker fashion whist rolling up a trouser leg and showing the driver some knee

Well, There's the, Drunk guy trying to tap up the old lady for a couple of quid to buy a coffee, show.

or you may choose to play the "avoid standing in someone elses urine in the toilet" game.

and last but not least - There's the age old and very popular - "Can anyone tell me what the announcer just said over the tannoy" game.

Or you can see how quickly someone enters the completely empty carriage only to sit right next to you! And they haven't washed in 3 months! It's great! Thumbs Up
