What are the chances of getting a ride on it, as I know that they
have passenger yorks.
We tried asking on an official visit, and it was made very clear that
there was not any chance at all, even when it was still operational.
I know for sure that there was an enthusiasts' trip in September 2008
which traversed the line from Paddington to Whitechapel. I personally
travelled (with an organised group) from Mount Pleasant to Whitechapel
and back on the 10th March 1994 in the 14-seat 'VIP' coach. I seem to
recall we had to detrain whilst the train ran round the turning circle
at Whitechapel.
Is it not the case that Crossrail is going to sever MailRail? I imagine
that will be somewhere around where the Tottenham Court Road station is
being built, so perhaps it will happen quite soon.
