A contributor to The Robert Elms Show on BBC Radio London has just
claimed
there are secret underground train lines between Buckingham Palace and
various other London sites.


Would this be an opportune momment to raise the issue of the
'Strategic Reserve'?


It's at Heapy ex ROF site.
Try parking up close to the site and if you look in the right place you
see
little camera in the trees move and point at you.
It was rail connected but it is only a short low loader haul to Network
Rail
lines. Mostley ex WD 2-8-0s and some Stanier 2-8-0s with large hoppers of
coal there also. Army trucks take in personel to maintain famililiarity
with
the machines and occasionally they must fire up because smoke can
sometimes
be seen.
No coincidence that it isn't far from Lostock Hall and Lower Darwen sheds
which were among the last steam shed closures.
Honest. It's true.


Isn't that all because there's probably ammunition stored there?

As I understand it mostly small stuff like fuzes and caps since most of the
site storage was lost with the demolition of the main Euxton site
