People get into a railway carriage at a railway station.
Through the carriage window we can see the start of the station sign, "Llanfairpwll...".
As the train moves off, we see the name on the sign slowly pass outside the window, "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch".
When "...gogogoch" appears, the train stops and everyone gets out of the train.
