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.

Just another irrelevant media nonentity, no doubt.

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

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.

Admits to working for London Underground!

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).

Blimey! I spent a few weeks shepherding Village People around Europe, so I
may have been on that plane too - was it in the early 1980s?
