The Night Ferry train that is depicted at the end of this episode ran from London Victoria to Paris or Brussels. The Service started in 1936 and continued up until 1980 ,although obviously there was no service during the war years. The journey took approximately 11 hours and was eventually discontinued due to it being uneconomical to continue with 40 + year old rolling stock that needed replacing and increased competition from the airlines. It wouldn't be until 1994 with the opening of the Channel Tunnel and the introduction of the Eurostar that a direct London to Paris and Brussels train service would become available again, albeit with a significantly reduced journey time, 3 hours as opposed to the original 11, and from a different London railway station (originally Waterloo then St Pancras as of 2007).
