Today I went on the train by myself for the first time since going deaf. I must admit that I was a bit apprehensive knowing I would not be able to hear announcements.
I said to one member of the staff on the train "I am deaf and cannot hear announcements made on the train, so could someone please inform me as we approach Edinburgh station? My seat is 49 in coach M". To which the woman said "when you hear them say that you are in Newcastle then Edinburgh is the next stop"! I had to stop myself from laughing.
