"The lost waterway of Melksham"
Imagine the scene. One Graham Ellis, seated on an obscure and now terminus platform of a one-time minor cross country railway in an obscure part of France. The curiously futuristic French railcar stabled for the night, Graham has just watched the crew make their way to the village's hotel and reflected that this is one of the last times that it will be possible to see this sight - the railway is in its last days of service. Anxious for a distraction from the general gloom, Graham glances down at the screen of his laptop, to read, in French, this article about his home town.
