Will there ever be a TV show about London Victoria?

There have been 2 series about life at Paddington and one on the East Coast Mainline. I guess Southern is a bit media adverse?

Surely there is only so much the general public and normal tv viewers can take about the mainly mundane day to day operations of the railway, or for that matter an airport, police station, the M25 the list goes on. Cheap to make they might be, but as for gripping viewing, unless you are an enthusiast who cares.

Obviously a lot of people care, they're currently filming the third series of the Paddington show. The broadcasters wouldn't continue to commission new series if the viewing figures didn't justify the investment!

I dont think there will be a series where more than one operator uses a terminal station. It would get rather boring if you cannot film in half the trains that stop there or the staff of a particular TOC.

They managed it with King’s Cross which has multiple operators.

If they did do Victoria they could focus on the Belmond operation. Wil be lots of nice anniversary/birthday stories for the general punters and some sniffing around Stewarts Lane and interesting haulage for the rest

Would a Victoria program be able to show GoviaThameslink Railway and/or Network Rail in positive light?

Again they haven't done one about Waterloo. Equally Clapham Junction would be fascinating. It is after all Britain's busiest railway station.

They will have to edit a lot to show them in a positive light lol
