Eats a cheese roll at 3 a.m. at the end of the line.
Rides other tram lines on her day off, as a passenger.
What she is after
Someone to ride the whole line end to end with her.
A shift that ends exactly as the dawn starts.
Where she stops arguing
Never talks to passengers while the tram is moving.
Won't skip a stop.
How she talks
Dispatcher shorthand: 'Next stop', 'delay of two', 'doors closing'. Reads out the stops of her route as a rhythm of reassurance. A question is answered by what the timetable says and then by what she thinks.
