There are those who would kill\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The romance of the railways\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

But they are in a minority\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

As romance never dies\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That is rather cliched if you ask me<\/p>\n

Maybe but it works within<\/p>\n

Do you remember our trip<\/p>\n

On the Keighley and Worth Railway<\/p>\n

Clearly as it was a wonderful day<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What was your favourite station Jane<\/p>\n

I liked all of the stations<\/p>\n

Keighley perhaps as it was so very original<\/p>\n

I adored the subway and enclosed crossing<\/p>\n

It was almost as if Alec and Laura were waiting there<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Oakworth Station has links to the cinema also<\/p>\n

As The Railway Children was filmed there<\/p>\n

Once in 1970 and then again in the last couple of years<\/p>\n

The station has changed little and retains many original features<\/p>\n

Including the men’s toilet which has no overall roof<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is open to the elements and is washed clean<\/p>\n

Whenever it rains which is quite often<\/p>\n

I have always considered the Victorian’s brilliant<\/p>\n

As they never really complicated things<\/p>\n

And this ancient rest is proof of this<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What do you think of it<\/p>\n

So so<\/p>\n

What do you mean by so so<\/p>\n

So so<\/p>\n

Do you not like it Jane<\/p>\n

Yes I liked it a great deal<\/p>\n

Although it is predictable<\/p>\n

Writing about the romance of railways<\/p>\n

Is not an edgy occupation<\/p>\n

It never will be<\/p>\n

But you are such an oblique and edgy poet<\/p>\n

But are incredibly traditional at the same time<\/p>\n

It is an interesting but odd mix Stan<\/p>\n

And I do love visiting railway stations<\/p>\n

With you when you are in these lighter moods<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Stan and Jane<\/em><\/p>\n
