MP3 Audios - Arts and Drama

Ever since that long gone age of railways - Whenever that was - Stations have needed porters. That special breed of men who during those long periods between trains, can find endless tasks to perform along the platforms.

Yet can, with the appearance of a train and it's passengers, vanish. Only reappearing if the smell of a large tip is in the air.

Burt Pride is just such a man, and Burt, a long time servant of the railway, knows that every job has it's little fiddles and is not above making them work to his advantage.
