Title: Last call for the Dining Car
Post by: moonrakerz on December 04, 2009, 22:23:05
"Last call for the Dining Car"" or "The Telegraph Book of Great Railway Journeys".

Just loved this;

(By Craig Brown with Apologies to WH Auden)

"This is the Night Train crossing the border,
Air-conditioning out of order...............
Seats for the rich, straps for the poor,
Everyone else stuffed up by the door
We apologise for the sudden halt
We'd just like to remind you it's Railtrack's fault.
This is the Night Train recrossing the border
Forward lever out of order............
..........................."


Well worth a read !
