I "lived" the premise of these lines - thereby admitting to
a certain vintage age-wise! Some really resonate: the
hiss of the locomotive and the "platform alight with puddles"...top stuff for my own boyhood memories of a
country still suffering from the effects of world war,
when bombsites were playgrounds of dreams and we
were lured home by the promise of a fish and chip
supper and the early evening episode of a radio serial.
