Well, if you can stand another from my strange imagination, try this:-

Do some Public-Schoolboys walk this way?

You were sleeping all the while he was busy at Carlisle,
Where he greets the stationmaster with elation.

Is this station more popular because of an Irish poet and a Wearside vet?

Correct :)

The Irish poet was Mrs Cecil Frances Alexander [1818-1895], whose many poems include what is now a popular hymn:-

All things bright and beautiful,
All Creatures, Great and Small.

Apparently, James Wright's books were first published under the title "If only they could talk" and were not immediately popular. Later, his publishers came up with the more well-known title "All Creatures Great and Small"
