Entraining doesn't necessarily mean funny, it just means that it was enjoyable to read and not a necessity to read, I guess.

(I'm going to leave the iPhone suggested spellcheck).

Bits like "You may still have been in bed at this point, and it's perfectly possible you were having the better time."

Ah! Thanks. I missed taking that sentence completely in. Need to read it again.

I smiled at "People Who Like Trains were very much in evidence" given that I watched Geoff Marshall's video "Through Running Starts on the Elizabeth Line" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXJQQ7YQ3gw on the new changes.

Marshall is very much a Person Who Likes Trains, and in the video he talks with others of that ilk.

IDK, all the NBs are a bit distracting

And "Excitable folk continued to walk up and down the train, including one in full purple fleece and joggers with an Elizabeth line bag round his neck. I can't see his look catching on." Lovely dry British understatement.
