One Sketch #33) Old London Underground District Line Train

You know, I'm not really sure what prompted the rush of nostalgia yesterday which prompted me to make this sketch of an old District Line London Underground Railway train. Whatever it was, this is partly how I remember London Underground trains - big, boxy red District line trains. I grew up in Ealing, at one end of the District Line, and I've always loved the Tube, representing, as it did, the thing that was going to take me into the centre of the city, where interesting things like the Science Museum and Natural History Museum awaited.

I can still feel it
The sheer excitement
Of rumbling through Hades.
Tartarus and Elysium
Looked much the same
As we snaked through
Plague Pits
And Roman ordure
And surface within yards
Of spacecraft
And dinosaurs.
