This is probably one of the best train rides in the world... Montreux - Gstaad on the golden pass railway

Hancock filmed The Rebel at Bingham Halt. Lovely, classic old station up some steps. Not the same now it's a tram crossing. Funnily enough Rebel was the name of my uncle's dog.

Many years ago at The Hexagon Theatre in Reading I saw a most enjoyable play called "The Ghost Train" written in 1923 by Arnold Ridley better known as Private Godfrey in "Dads' Army"
I'm a sleeping dog, but you can't tell |

the bloke who built Dulwich village didn't want a train station in the village so you have east Dulwich , west Dulwich and north Dulwich . south Dulwich would have been nice as I reckon it would be 2 minutes from my house rather than the 15 it is to east Dulwich .
Used to watch the Golden Arrow, pulled by a four cyclinder 4-6-0 Lord Nelson class loco, steaming through the Penge Tunnel. If you were lucky you could stand in the smoke on the footbridge as it went by. Edited by Mapletree (28 Aug 2015 12.09pm)

Edited by Mapletree (28 Aug 2015 12.09pm) Sydenham Hill most certainly is Dulwich, was always the major question what was the best bet to go to after school to catch the train , West Dulwich (flat road from the college and nearer) or Sydenham Hill up hill but the train arrived later.

there is a disused railway tunnel in Sydenham hill wood , its all boarded up but looks pretty impressive . if you then walk over Sydenham hill into wells park you can see the other end of it .
