Scotrail into tunnel.
If it's the sequence I think you mean, a few miles back from Mallaig.

Managed to see it out here in Thailand, so you must be able to see it back in the UK.
I enjoyed it. I'm not yet ready to drop him off at Altnabreac in mid winter and leave him there.
I thought St Keyne Wishing Well was a bit of miss and silly. It would be last on my list of Requeststops to visit. Looking forward to the next two episodes.
St Keyne has more stuff around it then the other two request stop on the Looe line
I now live about 25 mins walk from a more secret station on the Looe branch, but one that isn't a request stop.
I only moved here a few weeks ago, hopefully soon I'll find time to walk down and catch the train back up the hill to liskeard.
That must be Coombe Junc?
Correct. I could single handedly beat last years passenger numbers just by going for a walk once a week and be too lazy to walk back up the hill!
Coombe Jn is a request stop (when it is booked to make a call)
Nope, when I was at the train at Liskeard it doesn't have the little (x) to say it's a request stop, although the train would have to stop there regardless when booked to call so that the driver can change ends
I hope he goes to Lelant!
Nope no (x) in the timetables for coombe junction.
I'll eat my hat if Paul Merton's stop in Pontarddulais tonight doesn't involve a visit to the Male Voice Choir there. This is what all productions of this sort do when visiting Wales: find a choir or some miners. Throw in some sheep if you're feeling arty, and bingo - Wales on a stick... Sigh...

(As an aside, one night that we went to the Fizgig and Firkin in Exeter they had a promotion on, whereby if you drank 5 pints of their "Dogbolter" ale in an hour, you got a free t-shirt. One of my friends finished the challenge, put on his free t-shirt and promptly threw up down the front of it!)

Ah, Dogbolter. Funnily enough, I have similar memories of imbibing it then throwing up not long after (Lancaster also had a Firkin pub that sold it).
Happy Days
He was spotted filming at Burnley Barracks (somebody tweeted "Just seen Paul Merton at Burnley Barracks train station. He waved at me through the window") but I haven't seen any mention of the station anywhere in the programme summaries.
