In Fiction
- The railway features in the novel The Horn of Mortal Danger in which there is a connecting tunnel to a secret railway to the North London network. The only other known connection is in the disused tunnel between Highgate and the disused Cranley Gardens.
- The railway appears in the film Hudson Hawk as 'Poste Vaticane' in the Vatican City. Bruce Willis (as Hawk) stows away in one of the mail containers.
- A mail train system closely based on the railway is in Charlie Higson's third Young Bond book, Double or Die.
