What? I have no sense of direction so I'm totally lost.
Could you two give it a rest until Dentstudent tells us the answer please?My best guess is that the train that reaches him in 5 mis is the express train, it doesn't stop at his station, but it stops at one that's just a minute or 2 up the line. He takes the train in the "wrong" direction so he can board the fast train and get home earlier.Since this is a reasonable thing for him to do the "wrong" direction is, in this instance the right direction.
He boards the train near the end of the line? The train he boards is the same train that he would have boarded if he waited 5 minutes.
