Platform

It looked like rain, so we walked up to the train station. There you can stand on the ridge, under the big canopy that covers the platforms, and watch the rain fall all around without getting wet yourself. But it's no good if you get rained on walking up there. You have to go before the rain comes, or step off a train. After an hour's joy there the rain showed no sign of relenting. It would be a wet walk home. So we caught the next train, without checking its destination.
