I took last year
I’ve made the same journey
I was due in London
I drove in to
a nice, peaceful trip on a half-empty train
loud voices and singing coming from the main station concourse
managed to find a seat before the train filled up
noisy fans
being interrupted by laughter, singing and football stories
In the end
sat and relaxed
watching and listening to the excited fans
sit back and relax
would have preferred a quieter trip
friendly and good-natured

(main) station concourse (as I has never heard the word "concourse" before)
fill up (the train filled up)
all in all
