Traingate

The Travelling Wilburys did. They went to the end of the line. Dunno how much it cost 'em.

very nice too

Can't hear 'em myself. Speakers broken.

Johnny Cash could hear the train a'comin', rollin'round the bend.
He was apparently in. Folsom prison at the time.

No Obieone was not wrong, even I have the sense to understand when she spoke of the end of the line she was not speaking of areas where there are no lines at all, how can there be the end of something which doesn't exsist

"....even if you're old and grey
You still got something to say...."

That'll be right. We sure 'ave!

Train whistle blowing,
Makes its sleepy noise.
Underneath their blankets
Go all the girls and boys.........

George Harrison. Lovely, thanks JBF

Oh, my sweet lord,.......is that the Chattanooga choo-choo?

When Corbyn is PM and when he takes control of railways will he still want women only carriages ?

Please use the word IF ab rather than WHEN or some of us may get the screaming ad-dabs.

Referring back to the OP , perhaps Corbyn did not use the trains in the 'good olde days' - I think he had a motorbike.
Didn't he and Diane Abbott tour round East Germany on a motorbike?
Must have been thrilling.

At least with the old slow trains you could appreciate the countryside as you went along. These days it whizzes past in a bit of a blur.

wonder if RLS would have written this from a carriage on the no stopping Paddington to Exeter

Flanders and Swan sing about all the branch lines that were closed by Marples (although Dr Beeching carried the can).

Alright. I'll shut up.

Politics it is then.

Yawn...

Wasn't it Cuba, surely?

That was to Jalima

"here is a child that clambers and scrambles,
All by himself and gathering brambles"

Love that bit. These days they'd be chasing Pokemons.

Yes, I remember Adlestrop

No Rosesarered, I will say - when , such as WHEN i win the lottery - don't play it, WHEN I move to a house down in the town which will happen WHEN housing dept move me from band three to band one on the waiting list, band three means not a sodding chance , WHEN my vision improves,.

If is too positive , too hopeful

I like Flanders and Swan

Just because Stephanie Flanders was economics editor of the BBC (?) and they are singing about the stations that closed .....

I still like it anyway
I will go and wallow in some mud

My bungalow is built on what was once a branch line , wonder if he will bring the railway back here, they will have to rehouse me then, the fire station is built where the rail station use to be , that will be interesting . And as for the muninciple buses , our bus station was moved twenty miles away to another county. He is very London isn't he

Enjoy yer mud. Personally, I'm having a bath!

I don't like Flanders and Swan, I love em.
