1. If you are new to train travel, and don't really know the ins and outs, people will glare.
2. Do NOT accidentally touch the seat opposite with your shoe, the ticket checker lady will not like it.
3. Train travel is SO comfortable
4. Do not let the other people at the station hear you naming a pigeon.
5. Traveling through the UK on a train will show you an amazing amount of beauty.
6. In addition to beautiful scenery, you will also see, 12 male Pheasants, 3 female Pheasants, 2 hawks, dozens of ducks, hundreds of magpies and crows, a flock of swans, sparrows, and an adorable little black bird with a bright orange beak... I am determined to find out its proper name!
7. There will be one very crazy lady who will talk very loudly and attempt to kiss a stranger's kids on the head, while said parent tries to politely freeze said loony out.
8. The crazy person will leave after 15 minutes.
9. There is a comfortable amount of legroom on a train.
10. The Shropshire Hills are GORGEOUS!!!
11. The green hills of the UK are a completely different green to than similar hills in the U.S.
12. The rocking motion of the train will make you rather drowsy.
13. Despite having a lot to keep you busy on the 3 1/2 hour trip, you won't do one. The country side, and towns are too interesting.
14. And finally, once you travel by train, you will never want to fly or drive anywhere ever again...

Yes, it was a rock dove. But Not all the people reading will have been educated by me the way you have, and I wanted them to know what I meant...
