They came; they went.
A bit like a Diamond 50 bus (as distinct from a cluster of 2 or 3 nxWM buses).
Perhaps more like the invisible train that stops every few years at an imaginary Queensbridge Station.
That would be the campaign train, not for passengers, but for a brighter future!
Do we leave it at that, or is there anyone passing by on foot who'd be prepared for a bit of vox populi?
