Anyone else a confirmed public-transport user?

@helenS I've come to realise I'm a trainspotter at heart.

@UpForItNow Very attractive! Sitting together in a train can be so much fun, whereas in a car, poor driver has to focus on traffic, instead of on the lady on the other seat.

@helenS My best train memories were on Australia's The Ghan from Alice Springs to Darwin soon after its construction, the NZ Trans-Alpine Express, the TGV bullet-train to Marseille, and a vintage train Christmas-dinner journey from my hometown Canberra to a local station and back with my daughter. Plus, many overseas subway jaunts including notably on New York's, used to love that Sesame St song.

@UpForItNow The TGV is fantastic! It's a joy to use it.
I was in Australia, many years ago – in Brisbane. Unfortunately we used a car for traveling around.

@helenS I have a trainspotter type vid of both the Ghan and TGV journeys. The only negative was that I inadvertently booked into a smoking car - couldn't conceive of such a thing - and got choked by the fumes of Gauloises before discharging into the Roman grandeur of the Marseille station.
