The very funny guard on my train from Victoria. When he got on he had absolutely no idea where we were going so we had to wait for the announcement while he found his bit of paper that told him what train he was on, and every time we got to a station after that he made some little comment about it. Definitely made the journey more enjoyable! My favourite part was where he listed all the stations and the fact that the train would divide, and then when the voiceover woman then repeated it all he popped back on to the intercom and said 'told you so!' Whole carriage just cracked up laughing.
