Fascinatingly, while thousands were waiting to leave, a small trickle of people actually arrived on the inbound express from Tokyo. Had they not heard the news?

　　The train left without an inch of spare standing space in any doorway or aisle. As we charged away from the reactor at 110mph, the atmosphere became noticeably lighter, and I felt my own spirits lifting. The difference between fear and relief was only about 75 minutes though, with the wind blowing towards Tokyo, and higher radiation levels already present in the city, the feeling of deliverance may well be an illusory one.

　　Mr Fukada, the English teacher, said: People are fed up with being told what to do and treated like fools. The problem with radiation is that you cannot know anything you depend on the government for the information to save your life. Now we are acting for ourselves, but the worry is that we left it too late.

　　Perhaps we did. But the train, at least, arrived precisely on time.
