Christmas Carols with station names.

[Stephen55a1960]

A few Christmas carols with station names?

Hark The Heald Green Angels Sing

Oh Come All Ye Fairfield

Once In Royal East Didsbury

O Little Town Of Meltham

Good King St Pancras


Any more?

 

[wintonian]

Bah Hamburg Central!

 

[Stephen55a1960]

Bah Hamburg Central!

At 02.14 I had not thought of that one

 

[wintonian]

In order to humour people:-

• Good King Winchelsea
• Fairy Tail of New York (cheating a bit)
• O' Little town of Bethnal Green
• Ding Dong Merrily on High Wycombe
• The Hollyhead and the Ivybridge
• The Little Drumry Boy

Tring-le Bells

 

[Requeststop]

A little tenuous but a true story!

One of the bells of the Church of St Erc in Cornwall needed to be re-cast due to age etc. (St Erc Church is the Parish chuch of St Erth, one of the brothers and sisters of the Cornish saints who came on a leaf from Ireland to found the churches of St Ia, St Ives, St Uny, Uny-Lelant and St Erc, St Erth). Up to you whay you believe of legends.

The Church of England has a charity to help fund the re-casting of old bells at the foundary in Whitechapel in London. Funds were offered to the church to recast the bell on one condition:- The bell would have to have the legend cast into the bell an arranged line from the third verse of the carol "Hark the herald angels sing"!

RE-BORN TO SAVE THE SONS OF ERTH

The Parish Council of St Erth readily agreed to the stipulation.

Does Walking in the Ayr count?
Also Once in Royal Exeter St David's City
All I want for Christmas is Euston
Ding Dong Merrily on High Barnet?

I'll get my coat...

Is anyone tempted to compose a full set of lyrics?!

On a similar theme somewhere I've got a copy of "Silent Audit" #Sign it right, check it right#

On a railway/christmas related note

The travelling public showing their usual lack of understanding and all too ready judgement of the industry

Is anyone tempted to compose a full set of lyrics?!

Here's a starter:

Oh HST, Class 43
How lovely are your contours.
Your livery in blue and grey
In sun or storm best to this day.
Oh HST, fine sight to see
It matters not the TOC

I'm sure others will better that piece of doggerel!

EDIT: Oops, forgot it was to do with stations

 

[mirodo]

We three Kings Cross of Ore-ient are
Bearsden gift we travel afar
Flowery Fields and fountain, Moorgate and Mountain Ash
Following yonder Starcross

 

[marks87]

Silent Knightsbridge.

If we can cheat with historic names, In the Bleak Midcalder (now Kirknewton).

 

[Class172]

Anyone think of one for Adeste Fideles as opposed to O Come All Ye Faithful?

 

[marks87]

Not a station itself, but if you're in Edinburgh when the Highland sleeper splits/joins...

I Saw Three Skips

 

[pdq]

The Christmas Song, otherwise known as Cheshunt Roasting on an Open Fire.

[Tracked]

Away on a Pacer, No Rest for His Head
The Little Lord Jesus, Wishes he was Dead

He's going from Sheffield, to Wakefield Kirkgate
The Little Lord Jesus is going to be Late

The Engine is Blowing, the Toilet's a Sty
"I Could've caught that Voyager at 09:59"

But though this trains awful, at least twice as old
My nose is still working, I've not got a cold

So Little Lord Jesus, Stuck on Northern Rail
makes the Second Coming, one big Epic Fail
