Slow Train (Flanders And Swann Song)
"Slow Train" is a song by British duo Flanders and Swann, written in July 1963. It laments the closure of railway stations and lines brought about by the Beeching cuts in the 1960s, and also the passing of a way of life. Lyrics "Slow Train" takes the form of an elegiac list song of railway stations which has been likened to a litany. Its evocation of quiet, rural stations is highly romanticised and uses imagery such as the presence of a station cat or milk churns on a platform to illustrate a "less hurried way of life" that is about to vanish: The strength of "Slow Train" is considered to lie in its list of "achingly bucolic" names of rural halts. The nostalgically poetic tone of Flanders' lyrics has been likened to Edward Thomas's 1914 poem " Adlestrop", which wistfully evokes a fleeting scene of Adlestrop railway station in Gloucestershire. Although most of the stations mentioned in the song were earmarked for closure under the Beeching cuts, a number of the stations ...
