A number of years ago, Reggie managed to get himself onto a Steamrail charter
to Bacchus Marsh. Having claimed a seat in 1BCE as close to the loco as
possible, two enthusiastic volunteers positioned themselves on either side
(one in the next compartment and the other at the guard's door) and proceeded
to shout at each other through Hogaphones as the train departed.
