First, the speed. This journey is fast, but not always. On a good day, you can hit 100 mph. On a bad day, you’re crawling past a signal that looks like it’s from a Steampunk novel.
Second, the echo. There’s a specific spot in the tunnel where the train’s horn echoes like a whale song. Listen for it. It’s a free concert performed by a train hitting 70 mph in a concrete tube.
And the views? Incredibly stupidly wonderful.
You see the back of everything. Gardens full of rusty trampolines. The backs of estate agent offices. A random, majestic Victorian chimney standing alone like a stubborn king. It’s a backstage pass to South London.
One moment you’re staring at a graveyard. The next, a shiny new block of flats called “The Glass Gherkin’s Ugly Cousin.” It’s a visual punchline every time.
