Famous people on UK railway stations
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. Oleg |

This must be a new meaning of "famous" that I'm not familiar with. -- Richard J. (to e-mail me, swap uk and yon in address) |

Famous people on UK railway stations
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. :-( *Keith* |

Oleg Saw 2 of the actors who play footballers from Sky One's Dream Team (don't know their names but they played Carl Fletcher and Stevie Shaw) on a district line train. They got on at Bromley by bow where it's filmed and got off at Mile End. They spent the whole journey walking back and forth to make sure everyone spotted them!!! Kaz |

Years ago a friend and I saw Rolf Harris getting on a train at Paddington. Neill |
