Apart from matey on the roof, it was quiet, clean and well organised
compared to Glasgow Queen St on a Saturday night.


People sometimes climb on the roof of passenger trains at stations
in the UK, generally while drunk though not always. Even without an
overhead electrical supply this is dangerous, due to the height and
unforgiving nature of the line one may land on. With an overhead
electrical supply this is a version of Russian roulette, a version
with all but one of the chambers of the revolver loaded.
