Waiting for the next train's definitions

Hitachi train

A non-air-conditioned tin can on wheels, also simply known as an 'old one', which runs around Melbourne's Metro train network on 35 degree (C) days. Surprisingly, this train is rarely late unlike the newer trains, although this may be the fact that no-one gets on it, hence no-one sprints through the station and forces or holds the doors open for their friends.

Crap, it's an old one, may as well wait for the next one, stuff roasting in there for half an hour!
