Glad to see that you have added two more great works of fiction...............

After my last delayed foray on GWR^▸ (Great Western Railway) I would suggest War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy............a mere 587,287 words.

Surely the "4.50 from Paddington" would make the list?

[grahame]

Somewhat tongue in cheek may I also suggest the following alternatives

The Importance of being On Time
A Taste of Port
Breakfast at Plymouth
The IET^▸ (Intercity Express Train)
The Strange Case of 47484
A Christmas Engineering Stoppage
Windmill Hill Farm
Of Managers & Men
The Motion Machine
The Lion, the Kestrel and the Mallard

If travelling along the sea wall between Exeter and Newton Abbot today - Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas

Or "The Importance of being Waterproof"

And Wilde's masterpiece was a farce - rather ironic given today's events!
