    The '800' in the poster in background is at the top of the poster instead of the bottom, where it's supposed to be!

    I thought that it might be hard to guess but I see now that a poxy Google image search brings up the answer. :D

    Here's an on the platform scene at the same location with a giveaway British carriage in the background.

    Anyway, I was interested at the attention to detail in the previous scene - from the CIE poster boards to the actual CIE poster in the background. Irish stations have frequently been used to impersonate British ones (Great Train Robbery etc.) but the opposite have been quite rare apart from the rather obvious "Oh Mr.Porter" which was shot on part of the Mid.Hants line near Winchester. Any other ones - anybody?

    Mr Porter was shot on the Basingstoke to Alton line, not the Mid Hants line. The loco "Gladstone" was from the independent Kent and East Sussex Railway (pre-preservation of course) and ran to Hampshire on it's own wheels. Some of the shots of Gladstone out of control were shot in Basingstoke Goods Yard.

    I dont think this film got a mention yet.

    The Great St. Trinians Train Robbery. The last section of the film has a very exciting (for the time) railway sequence. I reckon it was only made possible due the railway it was shot at.
