as we passed high above the marina there was another station leading to a funicular railway going down the cliff into it ( carols idea ) , and then it was back into the main station , unless we first stopped off at yet another station , transferred onto an electric train ( marcus reckoned that it would be quieter and cleaner than steam ) ( what - nobody had mentioned noisy or dirty steam to me ) , and after crossing the runway it would climb up onto an elevated track , hopefully away from too many flying golf balls , and loop around the golf course ( paul hated that ) .
