One Way to Necropolis
Waterloo to Woking. Alan Dein explores the "dead line" where trains took the departed to their final station. From 2005.
In search of a coffin ticket, a Victorian funeral train and the guardians of what was once the world's largest cemetery.
Alan Dein retraces the route of the Necropolis Railway - from London's Waterloo station to Woking - and uncovers the story of the station of the dead.
Producer: Neil McCarthy
