    Anyone remember this?
    I vaguely remember a white carriage "train" pulled by a small jeep.
    Think it was call the Bisto Train - but it was generally referred as the Gravy train. It would pick up kids at certain places and drive around the zoo.

    No idea if it still runs - haven't been to the Zoo in years.....

    Anyone got a picture of it?

    Cool.
    Didn't realize it was still running.
    Need some excuse to go to the Zoo now.....

    @phasers - That could be it although it was a white train when I was a lad.

    I enquired about it last November and they said it stopped running years ago.

    Ah the gravy train, think I was on that on a school tour back in the day. Haven't been to the zoo in years, its too sad to see such depressed animals enclosed in their cells/cages.
