[ Sorry, rollback.  The train is not available at this
time.  We must roll back the last paragraph. ]

As Seluna crossed the barrier she saw a crowd of
people filling the train platform.  A loud cheer rang
out from everywhere as she stepped into the blue
platform planks.

There were so many people in the crowd that she could
not see what was beyond them.  Children of all ages
from 11 to 17 mulling around with what must be parents
or guardians.  There is a mixture of cloaks, jeans,
capris, and dresses.  T-shirts and jackets speckled
the throng of cloaks and wizarding hats.
