252 Transports of Delight part 1: Trains
An idea that was sparked by the Dionne Warwick Gamble and Huff track Trains and Boats and Planes, and got its series title from the classic Flanders and Swann song about London buses. Both were in the preshow.
The Blues often makes references to trains, as a means of escape, as a route to a loved one, or taking a loved one away. we had lots of blues, in many and various forms, along with some other stuff.
