Interesting Story about long lost train line in London

Thanks! That was interesting...and no complaints from the passengers I guess...............

"designed to be as comfortable as possible under the circumstances"  

Streetcar systems were known to operate purpose-built funeral cars in the pre-motorcar era:

The "Hillside", for example, operated on Philadelphia rails for at least two decades...

Wow...  cool.  I rode the tubes back in summer of 1985...  lots of punk rockers then.

I also rode train into London from Surry and Woking to Waterloo Station almost every day...

Thats interesting read.  I dont remember seeing this cemetary, but its been a long time...

I live a mile from Brookwood station and pass it every day when I go to work. On the way home I take a slightly different route back and travel down a road which  the single track line used to cross over which separates the north and south stations which are now gone.

i haven’t walked around the cemetery for some years, looks like I will have to revisit it and have another look around.

At the other end of the cemetery is the US military area which has personnel from the first and second world war.

Here are a few websites that may interest you if you wish to read a bit more about the location.

Wow, pretty incredible. Nice story.

Very interesting, though on the macabre side!

This has been posted too late to get a Halloween model up and running.  This was a train that l would be glad to have missed!
