This was on Little Trains and Big Names with Pete Waterman on C4 the other week.
The whole programme is terrible, but entertaining for all the wrong reasons. Tiny trains and rich old men talking nonsense about them, with random history chucked in.
It’s a cool little railway and still runs.

It runs along most of the prime invasion beaches opposite Pas-de-Calais so it made a lot of sense.
Looks like it’s quite well armed. Four Lewis guns and two Boys anti-tank rifles.
They don’t like it up ‘em.
Did they get hobbits to man the guns?
