Escaping from Dundee

The hurricane hit and the trains were all over the place. I saw the
weather warning the day before and rebooked to an earlier train. Glad
I did, I escaped just before the winds really hit and all the trains
were cancelled.

I was waiting at the station with loads of people from previously
cancelled or delayed trains all waiting to get on the same train as
me. I was expecting carnage when it would finally arrive and we all
ran for a seat.

And then magically, 20 minutes before the train was due, another
almost empty train pulled up unannounced at the platform. It didn't
appear on the announcement boards, I only by chance noticed it said
Aberdeen on the front. Out of the 50 or so waiting, only one other guy
and I noticed this magic train pull up.

So I walked on and had a carriage to myself while everyone else
squished in to the train that was 20 minutes behind.
