| Iliketrains – the Beeching Report Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
The Reshaping of British Railways was a government-commissioned report regarding the closure of thousands of local railway stations across Britain, which essentially sent large chunks of the country back to the 19th Century in terms of accessibility and essentially doomed the 'idyllic village' forever. The move was angrily protested against by most of the rural population of Britain, as well as the rail workers, and this song is an embodiment of that anger. :) |
