ONE-WAY TICKE T SHORT STORIE S A train is a closed world . Each carriage is like a small room , with window s and doors , but you cant get out when the train is moving . Th e world outside is far away, and you can forget your home , your work , your friends. On a train you sit with strangers . You dont know anything about them , but you sit next to them for hours , or perhap s days , in the same small room . You cant get away from them . As the wheels of the train turn , these stories show us three different people . A beautiful young wife - going on holiday with her new husband , through the green hills of England . A carefree young man - travelling across the mountain s of Yugoslavia, looking for work . A sensible middle-aged man - travelling north through the forests and lakes of Finland , hoping for a quiet journey . Three different journeys , three different people - all locked in the closed world of the train . . . where anything can happen .
