1950 Travel
Standing in the station
For the six eighteen
The engine at the front
Hissing, smoke and steam
The air was heavy laden
With the smell of smoke and soot
Then came an announcement
The train has gone Kaput
I ran up to the starting gate
My ticket in my hand
Sorry mate theres been a change
Its on another stand
Hordes of people charged once more
To a new departure site
When we all arrived there
The train had taken flight
A new train was reversing in
To take the last ones place
Is that the one for Newcastle?
Well!!! Up to now it is
The ticket collectors outstretched hand
A scowl upon his face
Youd think we were all animals
Not of the human race
I found a corner window seat
To look out upon the view
With journeys end so far away
I took some sweets to chew
The sun was shining brightly
As we rattled through the land
A tea trolley was dragged along
It was, their special brand
The sandwiches were all curled up
The pies tomorrows bricks
I guess theyll all just have to do
For us out in the sticks
Journeys end is now in sight
We pull into the station
All the families waiting there
To start the celebration
