I was changing trains at Crewe - and the piano ( an old upright type) is in the southbound waiting room.

Its something of both a joke and a mystery - as none of the staff I asked knew why it was there.

There is a grand in Leeds station.
I think the idea is that people can just play it when they fancy to give some free entertainment and help the day go by while trudging to and from work!
