The Metro is also new since I was here last. Wendy had already used it, as she's been here in the interim. She reported that it was mainly used by the Emiratis with their multiple wives and children. But now, it is mainly used by the, huge workforce who mainly come from the Indian sub-continent so, that at peak times, it is impossible to move, as people are so packed in, despite another train every four minutes. At other times it's quite comfortable. The trains are driverless, and generally spotless. On one trip on the Eurostar, a woman's melodic voice repeatedly informed passengers after every stop: "A clean train is a nice train". As a result, when the occasion, occasionally warrants it, as it did in Dubai, one of us is likely to say - "a clean train is a nice train".
