I would like to obtain copies of the films made by and about the GWR in the 1910's, 1920's and 1930's. Principally, these would be the feature film "The Last Journey"; the 1912 film showing the building of an engine at Swindon Works and the 1935 film commemorating the Centenary of the GWR...

This would have been John Huntley; I've seen a couple of his shows at the St David's Hall in Cardiff - they were very good! I've also been reminded of scene in "North West Frontier" which starred Kenneth More and Lauren Bacall. This is when our hero and heroine are in a station trying to...

Yes, too easy, wasn't it? :D

Another easy one, I think: Two mainline stations which are close together. One has four platforms which used to be numbered 1,2, 5 & 6 and are now 1 - 4. The other has seven platforms numbered 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 & 7. Where are they? :)

Yes, that's the one - well done! :)

This town has a railway station, but has never had a railway.
