The building was covered in a yellowy-cream wooden canopy and was adorned with tall green metal pillars. Everyone's clothes seemed somehow to glow slightly, including the station porter, who came towards them with a great swagger.

"Peep peep - hurry along quickly, there!" boomed a loud voice.

Jem turned to see where it had come from... and what she saw stopped her in her tracks.

"Oh... my... days!" she said.

"Peep peep - Very Important Train arriving!" anounced the approaching steam engine, a smile appearing on its massive grey face.
