In all my many years I have never visited Waterloo Station<\/p>\n
Even though I know it intimately and with a considerable warmth<\/p>\n
I was the young boy who stood under the four faced clock<\/p>\n
In the John Schlesinger film when I was nine and a half<\/p>\n
I was the country lad with his beautiful blond wife searching<\/p>\n
For the continental trains delayed but not quite cancelled<\/p>\n
I am the porter who worked at the station just after the war<\/p>\n
And visited Cyprus and Khartoum when meeting friends<\/p>\n
The number of platforms are hidden under veils of obscurity<\/p>\n
Or so I am told by desolate maths students keen for a solution<\/p>\n
There is a photograph of a Cape Coast Castle Class locomotive<\/p>\n
Which hangs in the splendid buffet nearest to the Victory Arch<\/p>\n
I often sit under it reading Three Men in a Boat <\/em>whilst waiting<\/p>\n For the Windsor train and my home comforts therein<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In all my many years I have never visited Waterloo Station Even though I know it intimately and with a considerable warmth I was the young boy who stood under the four faced clock In the John Schlesinger film when I was nine and a half I was the country lad with his beautiful blond […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7110"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7110"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7110\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7110"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7110"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7110"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
