East Grinstead commuter creates train tracks
7:46am Friday 1st April 2011 in News By James Wallin
TRACKS: Steve Spiro
A composer has decided to liven up his morning commute with a very different kind of train track.
Steve Spiro has created an album inspired by his train journey to and from work.
The 49-year-old composer and producer, from East Grinstead, who has worked with everyone from the Pet Shop Boys to MCHammer, has recorded a song for every station between his home and London Victoria.
He is now hoping to find a filmmaker to use the songs as the starting point for a silver screen portrayal of the 18.23 from Victoria.
He said: "With work and family commitments I was finding there was no time to do anything creative.
"Then I realised there were two hours a day I was completely wasting when I have my laptop with me and a mini-keyboard."

April fools day!

Over the last year (funnily enough since around the time their franchise was renewed), Southern's service has got worse and worse. They've now suck so low that I try and avoid them and catch FCC trains which have improved over the same period. I never thought I'd say that, but that's how low Southern have sunk.
