Have you ever tried walking through a number of carriages on an XPT, with
luggage (which due to its size, shape, firmness, colour, sexual preference
was not allowed as booked luggage) whilst travelling at speed, on track in

If you have not, then I can understand why you made the above comment, but
if you have then the above comment is totally out of place. :-)
