I wondered about KLF, but then figured it's not train-specific so lacks geeky-points.

It's about a train that's going to Transcentral. What more does it need to qualify?timsinister wrote:I wondered about KLF, but then figured it's not train-specific so lacks geeky-points.

Good God. Please convey all our sympathies and best wishes. I travel VERY frequently on trains, and can just about imagine how horrific it must be to crash in one...Obviousman wrote:A colleague of mine wasn't so lucky though, pregnant with three months to go and broke her pelvis in the accident Wierded Out Luckily the kid appears to be okay.
