Does any know where the latest episode of Casualty was filmed where. Man got his leg trapped in a train?

Does anyone know where the station scenes were filmed in last saturday's episode of Casualty? As the series is filmed in the Cardiff area, I would guess maybe Barry Island?

I've had a similar problem numerous times on c2c train's quiet coaches where people seem blind to the "stare you in the face" warning signs. I find from my experience that the next coach is always quieter, so invariably go there.

Last weekend I went down to the Early Spring Gala on the Watercress Line, travelling by train from London. Having looked at the Watercress timetable before leaving, several of their services were timed to leave Alton a minute after my London train was due to arrive. Luckily I spotted this and so...

Interesting thread. As well as the more commonly named Westerns. Waships, Peaks, Hymeks, Claytons and Deltics, in the early 1970’s in the North West we had the following nicknames (or should I say abbreviated names) for these locos:- Class 20s – EE1s Class 37s – EE3s Class 40s – EE4s...

Thank you both of you for the information. Clearly the Train Line website has got it wrong as it is just saying "direct" for these two train times, when normally it shows you all the stops on a particular journey.

I'm going down to Southampton on Saturday and wanted to go to Romsey via Redbridge and come back via Chandlers Ford. Whilst looking at the times from Southampton, there are two trains that leave Southampton for Romsey every hour but within two minutes of each other. The one at 35 pth takes 28...

Yes I think it was filmed in the NYMR as the rest if the video shows scenes filmed nearby at Whitby Abbey.

Anyone remember the film Melody aka SWALK from 1971 starring Mark Lester, and Jack Wild of Oliver fame, plus Tracy Hyde. It's a story of young love with a soundtrack by the Bee Gees. The two young lovers run away to the seaside near the end of the film taking a train to the south coast -...

Surely it's time for the Mersey Tunnels and the Tyne ones too, to do the same as the Dartford Crossing and bring in pay on line or in shops, within 24 hours of using the tunnels via registration number plate recognition?

Sorry! I was quite getting carried away with this rant that it slipped my memory. Anyway. Since writing it I can remember the gates being open at other stations around the country that I've visited this year including Oxford, Reading and Cambridge. Is it the staff at a particular station...

Forgive me if this topic has been discussed before, but I have just returned to London after visiting the East Midlands for the day. The ticket barriers were all open at three of the stations I visited - namely Nottingham, Lincoln and Peterborough. All busy stations with plenty of staff, but why...

A similar incident happened at Leigh-on-Sea station back in April. http://www.echo-news.co.uk/news/14435679.UPDATE__Police_called_to_reports_of_man_with_firearm_near_Leigh_railway_station_find__nothing_suspicious_/ Again, nothing was found.

I was there on Sunday and had to change platforms. The main problem for me was having to fight my way through the line of excess fare passengers which were blocking my access to platform 8.

I was wondering how many stations there are on the UK rail network that are situated quite near to a tunnel? I don't mean underground stations like Liverpool Central or Glasgow Queen Street LL by the way, just stations out in the open that have been built by a hill, etc. Here's a few for...

One that seems to have slipped through the net is the video for Geno by Dexys Midnight Runners from 1980. It shows Birmingham New Street and a Class 50 just arriving, as well as a couple of the band members jumping over the gates at New Street. It's often shown on Vintage TV, but I couldn't...

Here's an interesting documentary on the "ghost train" into and out of Newhaven Marine station. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yTmumbrKohs Don't know if this is still running or not. Any drivers out there know?

I was quite fond of London Bridge for many years, especially the "crypt" section and the original roof, but since it's been modernised it's lost a lot of its character.

I used to travel via Tilbury Riverside to Fenchurch Street from Stanford-le-Hope in the 1980s. I remember back then that the trains always went into Tilbury Riverside and reverse, which added to the length of the journey. I'm not sure if trains by passed the terminus, using the route they use today.

Not so much a closure. More of a change of use. I was wondering whether the c2c line west of Barking to Fenchurch Street will ever be changed over to the DLR? The reason for this is that in the last couple of years several trains have started to be diverted through to Liverpool Street. I know...
