The Null Device
The train I caught to work today was one of the new refurbished Connex
trains. Other than being painted blue on the outside and having a dot-matrix
display on the front, they redid the seating and added emergency intercoms.
Most interestingly, though, most of the walls between the carriages have been
replaced with see-through windows. Which means that when you look through
them, you see another tube of commuters, in that limbo state of almost
suspended animation one enters in the space between actual places. It's
eerily like looking into a fish tank (from the adjacent fish tank).
