BTW, Michael Palin described the train journey between Coleraine and Londonderry as one of the most beautiful in the world. Track is closed for repairs for a few more months but will resume soon (The bus isn't as nice.

The trip was probably lovely, but the thing I remember most was telling my two year old son he had to apologize to the conductor for getting a pen mark on the wall when my back was turned ever so briefly, and the conductor--are you ready for this?--responded by flipping open his jack knife and holding it under the kid's throat and menacing him not to do that again.
