Channel 5 - Compulsion

[Steddenm]

A new series has started on Channel 5 about a train crash and a paramedic who has problems following it, yet the publicity shot shows a train...


...it looks like a 319 but has weird lights. Does anybody know where and when this was filmed? The OLE looks a bit European too.

That has probably been photoshopped. That is definitely a 319 but they do not have lights in that position. It does look odd like that. It has most likely been photoshopped.

Unsure, but presumably as that features both Northern liveried 319 and a presumably ex Northern liveried 153, I'm going to hazard a guess that Porterbrook have allowed some filming in Long Marston.

A quick Google somewhat unhelpfully, says that the production company is based in Liverpool but nothing else.

It is awful. Train scene seems to have been filmed on a station on a preserved line. "The train approaching platform 9 (!) does not stop here..."

Some scenes filmed on the East Lancashire Railway using a pacer (144?)

Looks more of a First Capital Connect 319 together with a First Great Western 153. The best of two worlds(!)
