Attention Vern!!

[Hollingsworth Fweepleshorts]

Has the Segway been tested at Kings Cross platform 9¾? I can just see
Dumbledore wafting down the Hogworts corridors on one.

Here's a link to a picture of the platform showing a station trolley halfway
through the brick wall. Notice the muggle in the picture is quite oblivious
to the passenger pushing the trolley.
