Bobert, I opened this thread expecting an urban myth version from your side of the pond of the entombed Crystal Palace train, only to find something that is clearly true.

The rumour about CP is that an old train was found by some young people who fell through a hole in the park, and found a carriage in which still sat some skellingtons. (Have to get the patois correct.) The hole could not be found afterwards. There are abandoned tunnels, of pneumatic and atmospheric railways, but no past history of loss.

One of the sites on the CP rumour referred readers to Bobert's story. It was an awful thing, and his story about a memorial is moving.
