Unfortunately, the film of Perivale ended up on the cutting room floor. Timings in this 1962 film seem to be:
- 0 min 52 sec: Westbourne Park station (the last main line platforms were removed in the 1990s)
- 1 min 05 sec: Old Oak Common (branching right towards Ruislip, off the main line to Reading and Bristol)
- 1 min 11 sec: North Acton (Central Line) station
- 1 min 23 sec: Greenford station.
Work out the rest for yourself!
The train driver, Ernest Morris, died with his fireman in the Dorridge train crash the following year, in August 1963.
