The Heart of Wales 150th anniversary celebrations kicked off on March 23rd, with stalwart supporters travelling all the way from Shrewsbury to Swansea. Some of us went from Knighton to Llandrindod, the audience for the songs was great and appreciative, and there was a good conversation with guard John on the way back which gave some context and history.
Take the train
Take the train
But not the high speed rail connection
Take the train, Doctor Beeching got it all wrong
Take the train, the slow and stopping one
Relax, and take the train
Take the train
It’s good to slow down
Take the train, and talk to someone
Take the train, you can read as you go along
Relax, and take the train.
Take the train
And don’t worry about the petrol
Take the train, watch the landscape floating by
Take the train, you can day dream the journey long
Relax, and take the train.
Take the train
It’s better for your health
Take the train – reduce your carbon footprint
Take the train – you won’t have to swear at other drivers..
Relax, and take the train.
Take the train, what’s the hurry
Take the train, you don’t need to scurry
Take the train, without a worry
Relax, and take the s-l-o-w train..the slow and stopping train
