"The 17:01 gets in first, followed by the 16:53."

"Maybe it travels back in time."

"I've never known a train to travel back in time."

"Let me look on the London Midland website..." - Mick got out his smartphone.

"Since when have you had a smartphone?" said Larry.

"Since I started wearing a tie."

"Fair enough."

"Here it is," said Mick, as he pointed at the website on his smartphone.

"What?" said Larry.

"There's an addendum to the journey information... FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE, LONDON MIDLAND TRAINS TRAVELLING BETWEEN KIDDERMINSTER AND HAGLEY WILL NOW BE PASSING THROUGH A RIFT IN THE SPACETIME CONTINUUM."

"That is convenient," said Larry.

"It is," said Mick.
