I didn't know there was a train-fare? Sonic and co just seemed to hop on without being challenged by any ticket collector...
Talking of the trains, there was something that struck me - how Big the Cat started off his pursuit from Station Square when the station was apparently closed...
I lampshaded that in a fan Flash picture-show I made a while back.
(Unlike most people, I actually like Big myself... his gentle easygoing personality, leastways)
