Anyone know the cost of a SuperSaver single from London to this station? Picture is a screengrab from a 1995 video. And I thought only one station ever had the St Andrew's cross platform dividers...

I don't think I'd risk alighting there - apparently only Midsomer Parkway has more sudden deaths by hideous accident.

It is Midsomer Junction actually.  The platform sign is in our crew coach at Princes Risborough

I saw that video on a facebook group over the weekend, can remember when the filming was done - was great excitement at Temple Meads that day seeing Josh (Ian Bleasdale) in the flesh

Have to look out some of my fots of Casualty filming locations round where I live including the one of Holby being the 2nd exit off of a nearby roundabout.

Does this mean that if a local community rail group takes over a local branch line, there is a risk of a runaway Pacer running through the streets of a local village?
