On the way: Cars rush by, motorbikes buzz around, buses muscle through, a train rumbles above, and bicycles...
Two clash, wobble, one's down, limbs splay, a foot in the gutter a hand to a brick wall. An instant, one more, and the other's over, scudding across the pavement, pedestrians scatter.
They rise, turn, face each other. Potential spikes.
They shake. Whew. That's all right then. It's all over. Nothing to see here.
A small lady, late middle age, dusts off the her trouser leg, rights her tartan bag on its wheels, straightens the hem of her faded orange coat and turns up towards the station entrance, favouring her left ankle.

Ah, I hope this little lady was okay. I would have liked to help her home and make her a cup of tea.
