This is a sequence of letters, it is railway related. Which letter is missing, and from where in the sequence?

Have fun! It's not as difficult as it looks... in fact it's positively easy... ( and I fear I may have just started others off a new batch of questions like this on this thread! )

If you're talking shortest ever trip which ran as planned, I'd imagine one or other of those old-school brake van railtours of industrial branch lines in 1960s would be contenders.

Maybe this tour of the Preston Docks branch on 23 May 1964 (from the Six Bells Junction website), which must have been just a mile or two.

Alternatively you may be thinking of some more recent railtour which had to be abandoned for some reason very shortly (i.e. 2m 48ch) after departing its origin?

A five-part question:

a) What is the name of the episode of Dad's Army set at the railway station?
b) A stopping service calls at Walmington-on-Sea station in that episode. Where is this service scheduled to terminate?
c) On which heritage railway were the railway scenes filmed?
d) Which station on that line was used for shots of the Walmington station platforms?
e) Which NR station was used for exterior shots of the Walmington station?

Thank you...

Who, according to myth, has a reserved underground line for themselves?

Are you referring to track 61 at Grand Central station. An underground platform connected to the Waldorf Astoria, originally used by Roosevelt.
