And did those wheels in Brunel's times
Roll upon England's railways clean?
And were the Kings, Castles and Halls
On England's pleasant railways seen?
And did the Great Western divine
Shine forth upon our steep inclines?
And was God's Railway builded here?
Among the dark South Western lines.

Rebuild Reading, plated with gold!
Bring me my contracts of desire!
Build me my Newton Aycliffe plant!
Bring me my overhead wire!
I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall the DfT be sane,
Til we have built the IEP:
That's England's new and shiny train!
