Some people on the way...
We went to sit in the observation car and had no choice but to ask to share with a mother and her 14 year old son, or leave without observing anything. We sat and, before our arse cheeks hit leather she announced that 'This is the most boring train!'. I did take the time to correct her. Her son attempted what I believe was speech, but he was completely incomprehensible. As soon as someone left we excused ourselves and changed seats, explaining that we wanted window seats. He did attempt to speak to us over the aisle after that, but we just smiled and nodded.
