Re: Silent Night
When I lived in Blackpool during the war (that’s WWII not the Boer war) our house was the end one of a terraced row that backed onto the main railway line out of Blackpool. If there had been a window in the gable end I could have looked down on the railway.
Trains would come and go all night long and being the LMS they were always on time. I and everyone else slept through it all. But if one train didn’t arrive on time I and many other people would wake up and couldn’t get back to sleep until the next scheduled train came past.
