I'm not sure how well this will work, but I want to see if I can get a thread together of any (decent) random railway facts members can come up with, from any branch of railway interest. I'll go first:
- (I can't verify if this is true) but I believe the platform for Lympstone Commando on the Exmouth line used to be the Down platform at Weston Milton, on the Weston Loop, removed when the line was singled in 1972, and reassembled at Commando in 1976.
- Chelmsford is the busiest (by passenger number) non-London station to see no terminating services.
- There's believed to be a horse and cart entombed in Glenfinnan Viaduct, left there by Victorian builders when it fell.
Anyone else?
Cheers
