Patience is a virtue as regards railways it seems (other good recent news including the through train to Swanage and the cutting of the frames for the new "Patriot" LMS 4-6-0 both of which have been a long time coming). Although this piece of poetry by Brooke is about something vastly different (WW1) I think it sums up my views anyway at this time:<BR/><BR/>Now, God be thanked <BR/>Who has matched us with His hour, <BR/>And caught our youth, and wakened us from sleeping, <BR/>With hand made sure, clear eye, and sharpened power, <BR/>To turn, as swimmers into cleanness leaping, <BR/>Glad from a world grown old and cold and weary, <BR/>Leave the sick hearts that honour could not move, <BR/>And half-men, and their dirty songs and dreary, <BR/>And all the little emptiness of love! <BR/><BR/>Well, I can be an emotional old sod at times; perhaps railways do this to us!Toddingtontednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27589444.post-57023326642566778472009-04-03T15:30:00.000+01:002009-04-03T15:30:00.000+01:00This is fantastic news!
