Ah, I bet it's quite a creepy one to watch alone in the dark! I did yesterday, and that was quite scary despite knowing what was going to happen, so it's probably a good thing that my first time watching it was with a friend. :-D Although for me the most memorable creepy DW episode will remain The Empty Child. Now I rewatch with much enjoyment, of course, but the first time around, it scared me out of my wits and I didn't dare go on for a couple of weeks or so. :-D And that despite being aware that I had just seen one of the most brilliant pieces of TV in my life. Really not an episode to watch alone in the dark if you're easily scared! I had no idea at that point that Doctor Who could be scary, either.
And yeah, it's amazing it works so well despite not having the Doctor much at all. It's very cleverly written so that it stands on its own with the writing, and makes the Doctor present without him being present much - and helps that Sally is a great heroine and Carey Mulligan does a fantastic job playing her.
Ooh, that sounds like a scary place! I had a dream the other night (before watching Blink again, but after having seen the trailer at the end of Family of Blood) that I was in some kind of a train which had a "horror coach" and there you ended up in the events of Blink. Now that would be a scary train!
I noticed the Saxon references even the first time around (at some point I was like... "hey, I've heard that name before, and no, I'm pretty sure no character was called that... maybe that'll be important later"). But it's even more interesting to watch the clues now that I know what's going to happen!
And Ten/Martha/Jack are indeed a wonderful badass team. There should be more episodes with them! Maybe I'll read/write fic once I'm done with this season...
