I once got on a train at Balham and was travelling to norbury, I was in a compartment with one other gentleman , during the journey, the gentlemen leaned forward and tried to touch my p****, I found it very upsetting, I was about 14 and it was my first experience of a homosexual, but wasn't my last, the dirty b*stard.

...and you a teacher ? God help the youth of this country.

I don't think you can get the train to Spain but I might be wrong.

Years ago I got trains (plural) to Spain a few times and we also had to get a bus from home to Reading Station, the Underground from Paddington to Victoria (although once we got a cab because the Tube was on strike) and a ferry from Dover to Calais (although sometimes from Folkestone to Boulogne) and then a train to Paris where we got the Metro (that's French for Underground-they didn't have the free paper) from Gare du Nord to Gare du something or other and then another train to the French/Spanish border where we had to change trains again.

Here's where it gets really interesting. The reason we had to change at the border is because Spanish trains have a wider gauge than the rest of Europe so the French train couldn't go on the Spanish tracks without falling off. Although there was one train (a red one I remember) which could because somewhere beneath the Pyrenees they changed the bogies!!!! But that train was more expensive so we didn't go on it.

Of course this was all before the Channel Tunnel so maybe you can go to Spain by train (singular).Although you might have to take the red train or your own bogies

I did a 96 hour bus journey down through Chile once,thou it was more like a coach. I think coaches are better than busses as they can have toilets.
