This past Sunday night, I saw the premiere for season 3 of Sherlock, which happened to feature trains (London Underground) as a primary part of the plot. As I was poking around the Sherlock-related entries on Wikipedia afterward, I came across this article. I am not too familiar with the London Underground, so I would have never noticed.

Very cool! Great post
Yes, thank you for that. I thought something was queer with all the subway switching of lines. Actually, my wife noticed it first.
good job there !!
Opening scenes of a 20th Century Fox movie, From the Terrace, were filmed on December 2, 1959, in Jersey City Terminal with Reading T-1 2124, fresh from the first three Iron Horse Rambles. A caption identified the location as PHILADELPHIA, 1946. A passing shot of a destination board shows fictional places from John O'Hara's novel, such as Gibbsville.
No. 2124 was too big for Reading Terminal.
In the movie White Christmas, there are two "pan" shots of Santa Fe Warbonnet F-units and SP Black Widows heading streamliners that are taking Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen from California to Vermont.
If Sherlock Holmes and his compatriots took the wrong trains, how did they get where they were going? Hmmmm . . .
