songs about trains?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

The classic Biccies interpretation of 'Time flies by when you're the driver of a train' on Back in the DHSS. Do songs about train drivers count? :innocent:

I think it's fair to say that's it's not only about trains. The Flying Scotsman isn't white.

I wondered about KLF, but then figured it's not train-specific so lacks geeky-points. 8)

It's about a train that's going to Transcentral. What more does it need to qualify? ;D

Don't think any of us commute on that part of the railway so they probably all are :)

A colleague of mine wasn't so lucky though, pregnant with three months to go and broke her pelvis in the accident :urff: Luckily the kid appears to be okay.

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...
