The teddy bears have been so excited! They've been planning a trip to London for ages, and today was the day! They all got up very early (bears normally like to sleep a lot!!) and got themselves ready for their trip. They travelled by train - for some of them it was their first trip on a train, even their first trip to a Railway Station. The little ones found it all very strange and sometimes a bit frightening - especially when trains would thunder through the station without stopping!! The bigger teddy bears thought it was all extremely interesting and very thrilling!
They stood waiting on the platform for what seemed like ages, until, at last, their train arrived and with much squealing of brakes, and swishing of doors, it stopped and they climbed on. They found their seats in a carriage at the front of the train, and settled down for the very long journey - it took nearly two hours!! They passed the time by playing games, and chatting, but mostly by gazing out of the windows at the countryside going past so fast.
