Daily express

Monday, 5th November

From below the arch of the town gate, see that there are four figures standing at the bus stop. Also, a car has halted there. One

man goes to the rear of the car and opens the hatch  at the back to slowly put in his rucksack. Then, without any hurry he walks over to the rear right hand door and slowly steps into the car, closes the door behind him. The car moves off, and drives over the bridge.

The other three figures are the bog cotton man, who gives a hearty' Guten Morgen, then there is a young woman with dark skin and tight black curls on her

head, and Dolores. Dolores smiles

and wishes a' gut mage' as well.

Watch the bus arrive, it approaches slowly from the distant curve in the long staight

road. The bus is a wide vehicle, bat not as high as the lorries, the trucks that are on the road. This gives it a squat appearance, it's headlamps low

down over the road's surface. The bus

arrives early today, the driver is not

one of the usual ones to take this route.

Give him his money, and find a seat.

Because the bus is early, it remains at the

stop, the doors open, waiting so that it may leave punctually:

The taxi driver arrives, and he is

just in time. The taxi driver is a

punctual person.

Later on, after the bus ride, in the

cafe. Be the first to have a coffee, so it

seems. But the waiting room is full, all

of the seats are occupied.

Take the mug of coffee out to the platform

and stand there in the lamplight

watching all the trains come in. First, the

first half of the Munich train, backing

into the platform

Then the Agilis, to Ingolstadt.

Then the littte Rosenheim train, hiding

behind a goods train, with its roar of diesel engine giving it away.

An then the train to Freising, the one

that stops in Moosburg, the daily express

train.
