[The first trial operation of the much-anticipated passenger train has successfully arrived at the station, thanks to the transformative leadership of the Dragon Lord. Our reporter interviewed some passengers to see what they thought of the experience.]
Reporter: Chancellor Lawrence, how was your experience?
