Default 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.

Ken Livingstone (MP) - Baker Street LUL platform
David 'Kid' Jensen (DJ) - Waterloo main line concourse
Geoffrey Palmer (actor) - Great Missenden to Marylebone
John Craven (presenter) - ditto
Kristian Wilkin (actor) - Waterloo main line concourse
Griff Rhys Jones (presenter) - Liverpool Street main line ticket office
John Junkin (actor/scriptwriter) - Wendover to Marylebone
Alistair MacGowan (impressionist) - Reading platform
Michael Foot (MP) - Newport to Paddington
John Otway (musician) - Aylesbury to Marylebone
John Suchet (news reader) - Baker Street LUL concourse
Stephen Tompkinson (actor) - Marylebone main line concourse

Probably quite a few others whom I've subsequently forgotten!

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.
