What always amuses me is when the station announcer says something like "the first class accomodation is at the front of the train" If the train has already come to a halt before they see it, how on earth does the average person know which end is the front?

On the subject of locomotives I can see that I am never going to get you to willingly refer to diesels and electrics as such.
