[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Railroad carriage question (woefully long)

[emily greenstreet]

well for what its worth i always pictured the hogwarts
express as one of the old fashionned first class
carriages that you don't tend to see too often on the
british rail networks anymore. you still get the
occasional carriage like that on a train on the less
busy lines. i remember them better from when i was
young - small corridor that runs down one side with
sliding glass doors and windows into little booths.
they had racks over top of the seating, plush bench
seats on each side. a tiny little table at the end by
the windows.
good for privacy <ahem> and for containing screaming
children. bad if some dirty old pervert came and sat
in there with you. and someone had always slashed the
seats up.
