Has anybody here ever ridden the line in its entirety? It doesn't have
any sort of wayside signalling, does it?

Given that the original trains were unmanned, what would be the point of
wayside signalling?

There were some manned, battery-powered trains, however.

Where 'some' = 'one', IIRC.

Got it. I did not know how many manual trains existed, to be honest.

I'm not sure there were any manual trains as such. I think there was a
manual loco which could shunt the trains.

There was one (royal) passenger carriage.

One of the normal vehicles suitably modified IIRC.

Presumably there were some wagons
for maintenance purposes.

Normal vehicles with the mail carriers left behind and the spring
brakes held off ?

Wikipedia is rather unforthcoming on the matter.

It's great to see the railway used again so one shouldn't complain, however
I'd love to see (a) the opportunity to pay to undertake a longer journey,
having signed a waiver about the lack of exits; (b) a demonstration of the
automatic stock using the voltage control system.

The HSE would probably seek to bring back the death penalty for that.
