Modern Myths. Railway of the Dead

Urban Legends

In this chilling chapter, we take a journey deep beneath the bustling streets of Victorian London to explore the macabre history of the "Necropolis Line." Join us as we delve into the shadows of a forgotten railway, a hidden passage dedicated to the transportation of the deceased, and the eerie tales that surround it.

The Necropolis Line was a unique and unsettling aspect of Victorian-era London. It served as a dedicated route for transporting the deceased and their mourners to a resting place in the suburbs. In this episode, we will uncover the origins of this ghostly railway, its operations, and the stories that have surrounded it.

A story that sounded so macabre and gothic that it is easy to see why many believe it to be an urban legend. So, let’s find out what it was, and why its morbid existence came to an end.
