L37-1:TheWesthaven Express
We have learnt toexpect that trains will be punctual. After years of conditioning, most of ushave developed an unshakable faith in railway timetables. Ships may be delayedby storms; flights may be cancelled because of bad weather, but trains must beon time. Only an exceptionally heavy snowfall might temporarily dislocaterailway services. It is all too easy to blame the railway authorities whensomething does go wrong. The truth is that when mistakes occur, they are morelikely to be ours than theirs.
After consultingmy railway timetable, I noted with satisfaction that there was an express trainto Westhaven. It went direct from my local station and the journey lasted amere hour and seventeen minutes. When I boarded the train, I could not helpnoticing that a great many local people got on as well. At the time, this did notstrike me as odd. I reflected that there must be a great many people besidesmyself who wished to take advantage of this excellent service.
