Train to kollam (quilon)

We booked tickets and arrived very early for our train to kollam today. 2 hours on the platform and it was so hot it was like my brains were being slowcooked in my skull. And all i could think about was the chilled monkey brains fron indiana jones and the temple of doom. Ahh chilled brains. The train was fine once we cooled down and the cockroaches took shelter. We had air con and sat in airline seats. Numerous sellers of chai, coffee and snacks whizzed past every half minute with their own unique repetitive sales meme. 'chai chai chai', 'coff eh coff eh coff eh', biryani biryani biryaaaaan eh'. At first it was like chinese water torture but soon became a soothing steady stream of calm. The chai was very good as well. 5p a pop. I could stay on this train forever.
