LEICESTER STATION
Above the yellow stone and brick,
the hand-wound clock declares the hour.
Below, the tall imposing arches
stand erect in classic splendour.
Nostalgic horse drawn carriages gone
but cars and taxis, coaches, buses
all converge upon the concourse
where road and rail coalesce.
A Station here since 1840
serving now a modern world
but all its functions and its purpose
still unchanged across the years.
