Under the Sky Blue Sea

All aboard...

There was a different/new conductor driving the train home this evening, with a slightly different (and amusing) style of calling out the stations.... The best was as we were leaving King City (with the following stops being Aurora, then Newmarket).

(heard over the intercom system)
Small girls voice: Newmarket
(I'm guessing maybe his kid? Not sure...)
Conductor: Our next stop will be Newmarket!
*clicks off*
*1 minute later clicks back on*
Conductor: Never let trainees drive the train....Aurora will be our next stop, Aurora.
*pulling into Aurora station 10 min later*
Conductor: Newmar- no, no. AURORA this station.
*clicks off*
*clicks on*
Conductor: Yes, we are in Aurora, I read the sign.

This was my stop, however I am curious to what he said when he actually did get to Newmarket.......

  • Oh yes - the station for 'King City' also got announced as 'City of King, this stop, City of King'.

    :) A good train ride, in any case.

  • Every city should have a pompous name like "City of King". That's so cool. I hope he got lots of giggles from people at the end of the day. that's always a priceless accomplishment ;)
