Sadly the line featured was closed a few years later and is now no more.
I saw a mention earlier in this thread about John Betjeman.

With Edna stuck in bed poorly, I settled down for a quiet night in with the wireless, Listened to this play on BBC Radio 4 Extra. It is a cracking but sad play based on a chaps life through the 20th Century. Do have a listen.
