This story takes place roughly 12 years ago when I was 19 or maybe 20. My girlfriend was a year younger, we had been together since I was 18. I was in the British army at this time and based in the south of England. We both came from the north. She was still living up there recently had moved into a flat with her friend.
I was due two weeks leave so we both decided she would come down and we would visit London for the weekend before taking the train back up north together. The weekend was full of debauchery which you would expect for a young couple in a hotel room together for a weekend but that’s a story for another time. This story takes place on the journey back up North on the train.
