Most people travelling by train expect to return to their original station, but the majority of travellers on the Necropolis Train never came back. 

John Clarke presents an account of how railway funerals were conducted and how the London Necropolis Company,  based at 121 Westminster Bridge Road, (literally) sold one-way tickets for the deceased.

This event is hosted by the Streatham Society. No booking required - In person
