Last train, last stop and last asleep

Still fast asleep at the last stop, on the last train, this weary traveller may not have known where he was, let alone the time, but at least the impeccably turned out platform attendant was there to ever so gently ease him out of his slumber.

    That brings back memories. I don’t know how many times I was rudely awakened at the end of the line when I was a kid in Chicago.

      Going on a train was a rare treat when I was growing up. Not so anymore!

    The well practiced arms length nudge of a man who’s been sick on before

      Haha, that’s so true. He wants to keep those well polished shoes completely vomit free. And who could blame him?

    I love that. I could not imagine him being treated so gingerly over. here. Hopefully he didn’t miss his intended stop.

      Yeah, there was a really endearing nature about his gentleness. Really nice to see.

      As for the fella who was fast asleep, who knows. But as you say, fingers crossed he didn’t.

    A better question might be, what were you doing on the last train, at the last stop and in any condition to be taking a photograph 🙂

      Haha, that’s a very good question! I’d had a good few, but was pleasantly surprised that I got the shot. Got his face nicely focused too. Very pleased!
