1780 - The meeting place

Today I caught the train to Newcastle
It was pretty wet and grey in the place
My company on the trip was John Hill
But I badly screwed up in the first place
Getting on the London train by mistake
And just switching in time - I nearly spilled
My coffee as I turned quickly to race
Off the wrong train and catch the right one while
There was time. As usual at Huddersfield
Lots of students and smart young workers filled
The train carriages till Leeds. Not much space...
Changed at York. Soon after, old Durham filled
The train window. On reaching Newcastle
We caught the Metro to our meeting place
Wed 20 July
