Sir: The Brief Encounter clock has not returned to Waterloo (photograph, 13 January). The clock (which is two-sided) has never left Carnforth station, where it has languished since starring in the 1946 classic.
Carnforth, the location for many of the station exteriors, is no longer a romantic rendezvous, and the clock hangs forlornly, its hands frozen in time. Perhaps Railtrack will now consider restoring the Carnforth clock, and return to "Milford Junction" something of its former glory.
Yours faithfully,
