The Brookwood Necropolis Railway: The London Necropolis Cemetery ran funeral trains from near Waterloo Station to the Brookwood Cemetery near Woking from 1854 until the Blitz of April 17, 1941 destroyed part of the original London terminus and some of the rolling stock. Service never really recovered after the Second World War as motorized conveyance of the dead became more economical than rail. Derided as the "dead meat train" or the "stiff's express", this monument to Victorian modernity was truly a one-way ticket. Coffin tickets were £1 for First Class, 5s. for Second Class and 2s. 6d. for Third Class. All coffins traveled together in the same wagons so it is difficult to understand the different classes of tickets. The Victorian class system functioning even in death perhaps.
