In the old building next door to the station site there is a very nice
pancake restaurant called 'My Old Dutch'. I once heard a rumour that
trains are audible from the basement loos but I've never been able to
hear them.

I have.


I guess you must have been there when the restaurant was quiet! All I
could hear was the gurgling of the cistern and the revelling of my
fellow diners.

So perhaps there IS a forgotten trapdoor with a rusty padlock
underneath the loos in My Old Dutch!
