Nifty conspiracy theory, or fact?

I am assuming that you mean the Winbuck line that has only one
intermediate station at Northolt.
IIRC it was built in the 50's using Icelandic miners who were shipped
back home after the project was completed.
Test trains are run on the first Thursday of every month, in case of
power fail there is a back up facility at Windsor Castle that consists
of 5000 hamster wheels using 20,000 hamsters. There is a secret
hamster farm behind Eton Station.
