Potioncat:
PoA, chapter 2;

"Aunt Marge lived in the country in a house with a large garden, where 
she bred bulldogs."

Her train came in at 10 in the morning. 

How far away is the country and how often do trains run? Or could 
Vernon be so terrified that he was grasping at impossible straws?

As for trains, my youngest has discovered the Beatles and we recently 
watched "A Hard's Day's Night." A portion of it takes place on a train. 
Which to me looked just like the Hogwarts Express.

You would have thought the movie would take me back to my  Beatles 
days, but no, I kept thinking the boys were on their way to Hogwarts. 
>From my current point of view, they looked young enough.

Potioncat, who hasn't worked something this OT into a canon-based post 
in a long time.
