Surrounding area
gollark: Yes, though not for very long. Last year, if I remember right. I don't live there or anything.
gollark: This is very different to the local (UK) trains I often use, which are frequently quite late even for ~20-mile journeys.
gollark: In Russia, our long-distance (Moscow → St Petersburg, IIRC) train was actually on time down to the minute.
gollark: ... haeh?
gollark: That makes *some* sense.
