9. Idk if you noticed but this part of the platform is really odd imo:(pics)
📝So here’s a bit of trivia for you, maybe you were wondering what the number 5972 on Hogwarts Express is doing there!
It's the identification number. All steam locomotives were numbered, and many of them were also named. The locomotive used in the Harry Potter films was one of the GWR (Great Western Railway) “Hall” class : to be precise, it was “Olton Hall”, a preserved locomotive which was - and still is - numbered 5972
đź“ťWhere is it now?
The Harry Potter Museum
GWR 4900 Class 5972 Olton Hall used as the Hogwarts express. The locomotive is now on static display at The Harry Potter Museum at Warner Brothers Studios in Leavesden, near Watford and will remain there in the museum for two years. This is her from when she left service to her current display
