When on Thameslink it's certainly an odd to think that you're
travelling through a burial ground.


Could have been worse ... "the old Indian burial ground" ... wooooooo

Perhaps that's why they're too scared to fit out the station...

Is it too soon to jump in with "I'd have gotten away with if it hadn't
been for you pesky kids"?

Even though it years later, the station under ground zero is still
boarded off, even though you can see the platforms from the trains.

What follows sounds pretty gorey - I wonder if similar care was taken

E.D. Wivens wrote:
In 'The Condition of the Working-class in England in 1844'Friedrich
Engels describes the building of a railway *through* the pauper burial
ground on the banks of the River Irk near Manchester.

His description of the works, (which included some pile-driving
operations), ends "The disgusting brutality which accompanied this
work I cannot describe in further detail."
