They were great shows. RIP

Time flies by when I'm the driver of a train

And I ride on the footplate, there and back again.

Under bridges, over bridges, to our destination

Puffing through the countryside there's so much to be seen;

Passengers waving as we steam through a station,

Stoke up, fireman, for the signal is at green:

Time flies by when I'm the driver of a train

And I ride on the footplate, there and back again.

In the cutting, through the tunnel,

Rushing, clanking, on the track;

Wheezing pistons, smoking funnels,

Turning wheels go clickety-clack:

Time flies by when I'm the driver of a train

And I ride on the footplate, there and back again.

Well, it's certainly not SASTA - it gets to its destination
