Ian Fyvie	Gigging On A Train (35)	RE: Gigging On A Train	01 Dec 09
Played several times (twice a day) in 1983 on the Mid Hants Watercress Line, just east of Winchester. It was part of a theatre production by 'Beds and Sheds' telling stories from local Hampshire history. We played as the train left Alresford heading for Ropley; and after about four songs (British railway songs of course!) the train screeches to a halt in the middle of nowhere, as a Victorian robbery is staged. Just imagine 'Health and Safety' jobsworths allowing actors to jump out of a train and roll down an embankment in 2009/10!! Ian Fyvie PS played since then on Bluebell Railway, Kent & East Sussex Railway and Swanage Railway trains - plus several Network Rail trains, and Clapham Junction station on the day the first train ran from London Waterloo to Swanage since the 1960s.
