I wonder why they changed that, perhaps Dean Forest was cheaper?

Ok, thank you for that.

Could it be by Mr Ceuno? (He used to have a statue at London Waterloo Railway Station near the old Eurostar area, but he seems to have been moved elsewhere?

I have ben to a number of the book shops mentioned above and I do clearly remember the Smokebox in Kingston, I will try to visit the new enterprise in London Road, it is not far away. Hope it does well.

It was the 4.50 from Paddington that the lady sees the murder in the parallel train and Miss Marple, Joan Hickson solved the crime. The Plymouth Express involved another lady coming to a bad end on a train too, that was a Poirot story.

There was one episode, later in the David Suchet series, that was set for a little bit in Belgium, I can not remember the exact title, but chocolates were involved. They showed an arrival outside a railway station that they just called "Gare De Brussels".

Thanks for that, good photo, I shall have to find that episode too and watch it.

Yes, indeed.

Yes, I thought it was the Bluebell, as said above, they do feature in a lot of TV & Films, no doubt good for their revenues. I was wondering where the terminus shots were filmed, Hull makes sense, it is quite scenic and perhaps not so busy as other hubs so lends itself well for that sort of...

I was watching an old episode of Poirot with David Suchet a few days ago, "The Plymouth Express" which was supposed to have been on a train from Paddington to Bristol & onwards, set in the 1920s / 1930s?. I don't know if anyone else spotted this, but I think it should have been "Chocolate and...

I recorded and watched that a few days ago, it was quite good. A number of rail scenes. I think there is more info on Wiki and other film websites.

Probably at the time, it was a bit more powerful then.

I was working in the City from 1977 and at that time, there were still some gentlemen dressed that way.

I know, it would have been an interesting journey, trundling around the the North, West and South London Lines :)

Yes the ending was slightly different to the short story, but only slightly.

At that time, the late 1970s and early 1980s, would that type of loco had been used on that route which would have been Liverpool Street to King's Lynn and also on the Liverpool Street to Norwich, before they were both electrified? Now the main services to King's Lynn are from Kings Cross.

Many thanks for the info (and the great photo) :D

Good Morning, I was watching, last night, a very old repeat episode of Tales Of The Unexpected Episode "Galloping Foxley", By Roald Dahl. I think it was originally made in the late 1970s. Part of the story featured some railway scenes, at what I assume was an outer suburban station in the...

Good morning, I was watching a "Father Brown" TV Episode over the weekend on one of the diggi channels, not sure how old it was. It was Called "Kembleford Dragon" or something similar and featured a fair bit of coverage of a local railway line, steam operated and the carriages were GWR/BR...

That station looked good then.
