Here comes the Summer - the Undertones

it's funny how our tastes develop. I too missed mainline steam but commuted regularly to school on Southern Region EMUs, which to me were little more than carriages with a driver stuck at the front. A boat train was more impressive because of the speed - as was a Hastings DEMU passing non stop through Tonbridge, whilst the occasional 33 or 73 on a freight was slightly more interesting. But what was really exciting was the chance to travel behind a steam train ... perhaps that was glam because I didn't experience the smuts and the smoke every day?
