We heard rumours that the train carriages on the continent were better. They
even had toilets and you could buy food :). Truthfully I can only vaguely
remember those sort of trains and they weren't long distance ones.
I remember in 1957 been taken from Glasgow to Sky on the train to catch the
steamer to Stornoway. That was a corridor train but the year before going to
Largs on a Sunday School trip, it had unconnected compartments.
