LET THE TRAIN TAKE THE STRAIN

 

Railway staff are unhelpful

Generally

Stations are cold and dirty

Typically

At my local station

In Farncombe

When it’s unattended

They lock the waiting room

When it is open

And it’s a winter’s day

The fire switches off

After a ten second time delay

Trains are late

Or worse don’t come at all

Leaves on the track

The wrong kind of snowfall

All these things

Drive commuters mad

Even the plagues of Egypt

Weren’t so bad
