Comment[edit]

Wasn't the BBC programme That's Life! involved in the reopening campaign in 1975? Britmax 16:52, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea. Though I find it unlikely that they'd pay any attention to Nowheresville, rather than any of the other thousands of towns with closed stations. Lewis Collard 23:26, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Part of the appeal of That's Life was that it dealt with "ordinary people" so to speak. Esther Rantzen liked doing this. Probably the thing that singled them out was that someone thought of writing to the programme.They did a programme from Drumbuie once, you could see a Kyle Line station in the distance, probably Duirinish. Hard to get more remote than that; still, they went there when the BBC were often accused of being London centred even more than now. But I'm sure I recall them backing the local reopening campaign, when the station was still called Magdalen Road. Britmax 11:18, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you can find a source for that, that would be awesome. Lewis Collard 14:02, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
