Progress • Reform by I Like Trains

Progress Reform is an EP by the Leeds-based post-rock group I Like Trains. The EP's title is a reference to the lyrics of "The Beeching Report", which are concerned with the 1960s Beeching Axe British railway reforms. Other songs on the EP have other historical implications. "Terra Nova" – Robert Scott's doomed mission to the South Pole in 1912. "No Military Parade" – Roald Amundsen and the events after the polar expedition. "A Rook House for Bobby" – tells the story of Bobby Fischer's 1992 chess match against Boris Spassky in Yugoslavia, after which Fischer was unable to return to the USA. The song's video includes a high-speed animation of the final game, with which Fischer won the match. "The Beeching Report" – the effects of Dr Richard Beeching's report.
