I am gobsmacked someone would put those items in an overhead locker when surely they would have been safer kept in one's pocket.

I've never been on a train with overhead lockers rather than just luggage racks. I have left things on trains before though which is why I always make sure valuable stuff is somewhere where I won't forget it.

I haven't been on a train for over 10 years, I am not sure what they are like these days.

I was a bit baffled by that as well.

My eldest grandson would agree with you, he spends most of his spare time on trains.

He lacks the ability to join in with the utter fab-u-lous-ness of trains in the UK today. The highest human achievement of all time after Piers Morgan.

Here's the inside of one of the more modern ones from my part of the world. Note the lack of overhead lockers.

Very posh. I wonder which trains do have overhead lockers, something I associate with planes?

My grandson is train mad, when he visits his aged grandparents he goes all round the universe first. ::)
He went with a friend on a train travel around Europe last year they ended up in Ukraine! :o

BTW I like your signature! ;D
