Waterloo to Woking. Alan Dein explores the "dead line" where trains took the departed to their final station. From 2005.
Alan Dein goes in search of a coffin ticket, a Victorian funeral train and the guardians of what was once the world's largest cemetery.

Along the way, he uncovers the story of the station of the dead.
