Name that line and you could win a weekend break for two.
A British Rail competition asks commuters to invent a new name for the local Watford to Euston line. The most appropriate name will be used for advertising and promotions.
More than £2 million has already been spent on improving stations along the 76-year-old route. New plans include a passenger information system, closed circuit television security and the latest signalling system.
The Gold Star weekend break includes first class rail travel and three-star hotel accommodation anywhere in the United Kingdom.

NOSTALGIA NOTE: Does anyone know the outcome of this competition? I was unable to discover what the winning name was via our archive and can find no record of it anywhere else either. Please get in touch if you know.
