17 again

The train now approaching Platform 17 is the 4pm Intercity from Shimelle.com.

In order to join the train, passengers should have all visa information checked - here is mine:

It's 1975 and I am 17. I live in Old Harlow in Essex. I am in the 6th form at school and having the time of my life!

I drive an Austin Allegro on my driving lessons.

On a Saturday I go shopping either to Harlow Town or Chelmsford on the bus.

On a Sunday I do my homework

At Halloween I didn't dress up. We don't celebrate Halloween much in England

I recently saw One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest and thought it was really good

I am reading lots of books for my English Literature A level and HATE Joseph Conrad's 'Nostromo'

The big newspaper story this year is England staying in Europe, and Margaret Thatcher becoming leader of the Conservative party.

What's that? You want to check my photo? OK, well here it is -

Can I get on? Thanks! Hey you guys, great to see you, is this seat taken? OK, the whistle is blowing and we now have to get to the next stop to pick up Christy . We should get to her by about 1990, so settle down for a long journey, I'm not that good on Geography but I think we're heading over the Atlantic to North Carolina!
