I drew up a list of some of the people I see on my commute, in order of when I see them:

Beard, shorts, tote bag
Retired Black Widow
Stretched ex-colleague
Pointy boots from the shop who is not Aiden Turner
Jehova's Witnesses (skirts and boots)
300-year-old man on his morning constitutional
Green hair, six pugs
Jehova's Witness (bridge)
His n' Hers duffle coats
Daytime vampire
Jehova's Witness (station)
Cheery station barrier man
Wasp Factory boy
Man with elbow patches
Miserable station barrier lady
Station Approach rough sleeper
Jehova's witness (Norwich)
River hippies
Bored station barrier man
Heavy breather
Is She a Child or Is She an Adult?
Man who really wants 20p

Bonus list of train conductors and tannoy announcers:

Dishy don't-know-what-it-is accent man
Soups, sandwiches, hot bacon rolls
Ghost of a little girl
Lovely Irish lady, no idea what she's saying
All words are now one
Man who speaks like the talking clock
I must read you all the extremely detailed information about everything so you get the chance to hear my beautiful voice for as long as possible
Huge… gaps… between… words… … …haha, you thought I'd finished… but no.
Insanely upbeat woman who sounds like a parody of herself

What's with the Jehovah's witnesses? There be many of them.

By the way, I love this list. It's like the germ of a poem. Or a story. Reminds me of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

I don't know - they appear to be multiplying. They're not always all there every day, but you're generally in luck if you've an early morning craving for a copy of Watchtower.

That's a lot of Jehovah's Witnesses. I wonder why they're all hanging around where you live. I hope they give you things to read anyway.

Do they do hot bacon rolls on your train? I hate those, they really stink up the place.

This is a good list.
