    I'm not sure that's anything new, the real identity crisis appears to be at the south end of platforms 1/2, where the canopy columns seem to be turning maroon, along with a lot of filming gear piling up.

    Thought they were not making any more Downton TV/Films. Intrigued.

    As far as I can recall, the "Downton" nameboard has been at the end of platforms 1/2 since the beginning of time, well, certainly well before the rebuilding began. I always presumed this was because the railway saw it as a kind of international flag-waver.

    Apparently it is magnetic, so it comes and goes - I think there was a reason for having it today.

    How about a Downton Abbey themed day?

    Hugh Bonneville lives nearby and you can have Bates being found in the vicinity of suspicious deaths, a sort of 'Who Didnt Do It'
