Monday, two packs, elder who vetoes standing. Observation looks like a photo queue. I will not invent a cancelled hill train. Need seated toward Nanu Oya or we sleep Ella another night.

Hill passenger trains are running. The crush is return-weekend bodies, not a closure. Buy seated, even if it is later. Observation standing with an elder is a punishment. Ask the Ella counter, not a group chat that invents a dead line.

We waited the 12-ish seated. Slow tea country. Fine. Standing with bags is how you hate the view.

If the counter says wait, wait. Pride boarding a packed observation is not a shortcut.
