YMMV / The Train Now Standing...

• Retroactive Recognition:
  • Fred is played by Arthur White, who would later be best known for playing Ernie Trigg in A Touch of Frost.
  • Bill is played by George Waring, who would later be best known for playing Arnold Swain in Coronation Street.
  • Mr. Potts is played by Denis Lill, who would later be best known for playing Charles Vaughan in Survivors (BBC).
  • Mr. Pitts is played by Garfield Morgan, who would later be best known for playing Frank Haskins in The Sweeney.
  • A fireman in "Send Him Victorious" is played by Kenneth Waller, who would later be best known for playing Old Mr. Grace in Are You Being Served? and Grandad in Bread (1986).
• Spiritual Successor: The series' concept of "sitcom focused on the running of a little-used branch line station" would be revisited in The '90s in the form of Oh, Doctor Beeching!. Coincidentally, Beeching! had an episode that was also titled "The Train Now Standing...".
