Famous people on UK railway stations
 
Just wondering how many famous people we see on our trains and
stations...

At various stations in the South East, I have seen the following
people:
Barry Cryer, Ray Dorset (from Mungo Jerry), Corbin Bernsen, Amanda
Pays, Hugh Dennis, Zoë Wanamaker, Paul Ross, Michael Sheard (Mr
Bronson in Grange Hill), and a few others I can't recall just now.

Today I saw the actor Richard Dixon on Waterloo concourse at about
16.15 hrs.

I imagine we all see a few from time to time. So far, I haven't seen
any on trains.

This must be a new meaning of "famous" that I'm not familiar with.

Geoffrey Palmer (actor) - Great Missenden to Marylebone
John Craven (presenter) - ditto
Kristian Wilkin (actor) - Waterloo main line concourse

Leon Brittan on the Victoria Line
Edwina Currie entering the tube at Victoria
Peter Mandelson on GNER train to London
Michael Foot on the 24 bus
sundry other MPs using the tube to get to Westminster

I haven't seen many "real" celebrities anywhere and certainly not on
public transport.

I'll add ...

Eddie Butler (Rugby player & commentator) at Reading station.
Bob Willis (former England Cricket Captain) on train from London to
Birmingham.

Once (many years ago) I travelled on the plane from Heathrow to Brussels
with Barbara Castle and then shared baggage (sic) reclaim with her and
Village People. :-(

Jimmy Edwards used to be seen regularly at Haywards Heath, and I've stood by
Robin Day, and had a chat, at the carousel at Heathrow T3, just after Reagan
got the Presidential nomination in Detroit in 1980 (I think).

Saw 2 of the actors who play footballers from Sky One's Dream Team (don't
know their names but they played Carl Fletcher and Stevie Shaw) on a
district line train. They got on at Bromley by bow where it's filmed and got
off at Mile End. They spent the whole journey walking back and forth to make
sure everyone spotted them!!!

Do you think that I care enough to look? ;-))

Just another irrelevant media nonentity, no doubt.

I was once on a Northern Line train with Hilda Braid, who's currently
in Eastenders. I followed her across the concourse at Waterloo where
she go on a Richmond line train. Years ago a friend and I saw Rolf
Harris getting on a train at Paddington.
