Talk:Hogwarts Express

From Harry Potter Wiki

Regarding the 'third rail'

In the 'Behind the Scenes' section it was noted that the railway-line followed by the Hogwarts Express has a third-rail. This is incorrect. The extra rail seen on Glenfinnian Viaduct during the films is a safety-feature used on many British railways at bridges and tight corners. If a trains' wheels come off the track, the third-rail prevents the derailed vehicle from drifting towards the outside edge of the corner. As such I have deleted the reference.

[edit] Behind the Scenes/Tonks

Tonks wasn't riding the train as an adult she was simply checking the train before it departed wasn't she? U-No-Poo 16:52, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
