I am just about to watch this before I go to sleep. I don't know what it is, just typed in [br train 1977] into YouTube and see what results returned.
I do this often. If it isn't trains, it's cars or some other marker of a bygone era. It isn't that i'm an anorak. The specifications of the machinery and engines are not what i'm looking for.. but rather the emotional content of travel, of places, of the past. And yes it is accompanied by sadness and melancholy.
All the time I look back. Never have I looked forward. Given the chance, I would look forward, and I would look away from here, away from this country. But that has never been am option. Yet I would like it to be.
