The Never-Stop Railway was a step-on, step-off method where people walked slowly onto moving carriages that went around the British Empire Exhibition in Wembley 1925.
These railway carriages never stopped at platforms, but passed by slowly enough for people to hop on and off.
This railway consisted of 88 unmanned carriages, on a continuous double track along the northern and eastern sides of the exhibition.
Diagram showing step-on, step-off method. The system was entirely automatic without locomotive driver or guard, with a high carrying capacity.
The carriages never stop and passengers are expected to hop off while it is still in motion. The lack of stopping meant the railway was able to gain greater speeds than the trains running on the London Underground at the time.

She was something of a late bloomer, opportunity didn't knock until she was in nearly 50.
It took years of dedication to her acting craft before her career gained steam. She was persistent, and it paid off.

Lies! You can't be rich & famous unless you're in the club a covert TG
Margaret married fellow actor James Buckley Stringer Davis in 1945.
FTM, transformers!
Stringer was in virtually all her films and plays.
They married in middle age.
