The strange thing is that now, 15 hours later, I can't accurately
remember the actual jump. A step forward, yes, but then its all blank
until the train stopped halfway down the platform. I probably thought
she was trying to be first on the train so she would have a better
chance of getting a seat.
There were probably another 20 people on the platform and no-one said a
word.
