Date written[edit]

An anon IP has added that this was written in July 1963. It was definitely sometime between March 1963 (when the first Beeching Report that inspired the song was published), and October of the same year (when it was performed at the review At the Drop of Another Hat), but I can't find any direct citations online, even for the year, and extracting the year from the above is pushing WP:OR. If anyone has books or manuscripts that give the date, feel free to cite them.Optimist on the run (talk) 18:19, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Slow Train → Slow Train (Flanders and Swann song) – There is no WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, as there are at least 2 other songs with "Slow Train" in the title:

Slow Train by Flanders and Swann
Slow Train (Bob Dylan song)
Slow Train by Status Quo - Slow Train (song) redirects to Quo (Status Quo album).

I propose to make this page a disambiguation page Cnbrb (talk) 10:54, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support as per nom. 162 etc. (talk) 13:38, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support - page view stats for both this page and Bob Dylan are similar so this makes sense. Slow Train (song) should redirect here. — O Still Small Voice of Clam 13:46, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. No primary topic between the songs, so a dab page is the safest bet. Paintspot Infez (talk) 14:41, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support and agree with rationale. ╠╣uw [talk] 17:54, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support' move Slow Train (disambiguation) in. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:32, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support the Bob Dylan song has 335 views compared with 460 for this one and on most days the views are similar[[1]]. Crouch, Swale (talk) 11:25, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
