Which station is this?

I went for Raynes Park. A weak guess. I know Herne Hill but I wouldn't have got it anyway.

I WAS WATCHING the 1973 film "White Cargo" two days ago, a British sex comedy starring David Jason.

At 27:00 he is at a station, Woldingham Railway station.

So I added an item to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woldin...ailway_station
namely:
"The station appears briefly in the 1973 David Jason film ''White Cargo'', at the 27:00 minute mark."

That tiny but apparently earth-shattering contri was gone within a day:
it was "unsourced trivia".


Add it again with a reference this time to a source?

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0283137/locations " Woldingham Station,
Woldingham, Surrey, England, UK (Albert goes to The Grange, Upper
Woldingham)" with of course the date you retrieved it

Of course IMDB is not a primary source but I'd guess most Wiki warriors
won't want to go there ;)


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_IMDb

IMDb content which is in dispute about whether it is appropriate to
reference on Wikipedia:

Released films only: Sections such as the cast list, character
names, the crew lists, release dates, company credits, awards,
soundtrack listing, filming locations, technical specs, alternate
titles, running times, and rating certifications.


it's a fair cop

Herne Hill, viewed from the south.


What kind of train is approaching the station? Looks a bit like First
Great Western, but it's a Southeastern station.


Looks like a SWR class 450

I could do all that... it wouldn't be hard.

BUT INSTEAD I have pulled on my floppy green hat, flung my chiffon scarf over my shoulder, picked up my peke and stormed out of the room, chirping, "If you want citations Mr Pedia, you can put them in yourself. I'm afraid I don't get out of bed for less than £50,000."
