So in my block of six berths on my overnight train heading north, we all emerge sleepy eyed from under our Indian Railways sheets. Suddenly there’s 9 of us sitting side by side and opposite and we get chatting and sharing snacks, the fabulous social element to train travel. The retired couple next to me are from Tamil Nadu, now living in Bangalore, and have been visiting family for Christmas. They have two sons, one working in Germany and the other in Taiwan. And the couple on the aisle seats with a small son once lived in Plymouth working for the council and lastly the retired math teachers son is working in Kings College hospital in London. How international we are!
