Hmm, I was just about to jump in with both feet and nominate the Snaefell mountain railway in the Isle of Man, but fortunately I checked first. (wonkypedia link here..Snaefell mountain railway.)

I knew it had a centre rail, and having never ridden on it just assumed it was rack & pinion.

According to web sources, the centre rail is for emergency braking but not for traction.

Well at least I saved myself a public drubbing. Phew !

BW.

Edit: I've just been informed by SWMBO that the IOM isn't part of the UK, so it wouldn't have counted anyway. Oh dear.
