I was walking towards the train station and when I was about 50 meters away, I saw the train to city just arriving at the station. Normally, I would have sprinted towards the station like Asafa Powell with a backpack. Today, I just didn't run. I casually walked to the station.
It only dawned on me that I am back in Melbourne -where we have an excuse for a public transport system-, when I heard the announcement, the next train -which is 15 minutes away- has been delayed by 5 minutes.
I just realised I was still on London mood. In London Tube, there is a train every 5 minutes. Actually that's an assumption. Because, only once, I had to wait for 5 minutes for a train, every other time I managed to catch a train within 2-3 minutes of stepping on to the platform. So, nobody actually runs to catch a train, even if they see their train pulling in to the station and nobody bothers checking the train time table. Because they know they will only have to wait for another few minutes.
