Wikipedia:
Waiting for a Train is taken from Flash and the Pan’s 1982 album Headlines and reached #7 on the UK Singles Chart in 1983. In the band’s native Australia, the track peaked at #66 on the Kent Music Report. The single version (alternatively known as French Take) includes a different intro than the LP cut and lacks an entire verse and some of the chorus lyrics.
At the time of the Headlines album, Stevie Wright was officially a member of Flash and the Pan, making this version of the group close to an Easybeats revival; however, there is some doubt about how much Wright actually contributed to the recordings. He appears in the video to the song Where Were You miming to George Young’s voice.
