Its a shame that what is in effect a national asset has gone to waste. Given
the traffic situation in London there must be some business case for it.

I was thinking more in-city style deliveries. It must take a van about an hour
to cross central london during the day.

Now that it is up and running again I think it should be renamed the Queen Elizabeth Post Office Railway.

It'd be a bit late but I think The George V Line would be more appropriate.

I'll likely visit sometime in the autumn.

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