I so want that to be right.

Blimey; I would so like it to be. As Robert Robinson might have said; Would that it were, Lee; would that it were.

Although to be honest I'm not sure Camden Road and Texas are all that similar, as names go.

Anyway you have at least given me the opportunity to move this one on a little: The second one (the footbridge) is at the former Morningside Road station, on the old Edinburgh Suburban.

While you are on your journey from one to the other, Bmblbzzz, perhaps you could practice singing 'Yellow Rose of Texas' to the tune of 'Land of Hope and Glory'...

Is this where one should shout "Mornington Crescent" to win?

I can sing anything you like to the tune of anything else, backwards and forwards, standing on my head in a tub of custard, it all sounds the same when I sing!

That brought a tear to my eye, remembering Jeremy Hardy. As did he, every time he sang.
