Music videos featuring traction

[TWPacer]

I came across a video for the Lighthouse Family and hadn't realised there was a few shots of 156s and 142s in Newcastle - looks like an old brown and cream one :-

another one I like is Hue and Cry's Looking for Linda:-

http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONc3OMOb98I

Has some classic Orange and Black EMUs including what looks like a 303.

Does anybody else know of any music videos where trains feature?

Smalltown boy by Bronski Beat has several shots including one of a 210 at Paddington.
500 miles by Proclaimers has a brief shot of a NSE slammer.

 

[TGVDUDE]

think it was Ellie Goulding who filmed a bit of one of her music videos on a FGW HST, can't find the link so could be someone else in that genre, happy to be corrected..

 

[ushawk]

I know a music video by Olly Murs (the runner up in X Factor) has several c2c 357's in it, cant remember the song name or where it was filmed though.

500 miles by Proclaimers has a brief shot of a NSE slammer.

It's not brief, it has a few shots, including some onboard shots with someone standing at an open window and someone sitting down. All filmed around Brighton, I think including shots on Lewes station with NSE slammer, and shots of London Road viaduct with NSE and Blue/Grey slammers.

 

[Class 33]

Yes some more, look them up on YouTube.

Level 42 - Something About You

Bit of a continuity error in this video though. As it includes a line-side shot of a Class 47 as though that's the train they're on, but as the video ends it shows a shot of an EMU pulling into the terminus station. Anyone confirm what station this is?

Dexy's Midnight Runners - Geno

During the first minute of this video there are some shots of Birmingham New Street station?

 

[t_star2001uk]

That would be Waterloo that they arrive into....

A couple of shots. First shots of group members getting off some air con mk 2s being hauled by an electric as a 50 can be seen coming into the station in the background. Then a scene of 2 band members jumping over the ticket barrier.

Also a nice shot of an old WMPTE fleetline too

Encouraging fare evasion?! Someone call the Authorities!

It's 'Heart Skips A Beat' ft. Rizzle Kicks. Video:

Filmed at Mile End skatepark

Johnny Logan's What's Another Year features some Irish Rail footage:

http://www.mtv.co.uk/artists/johnny-logan/video/whats-another-year

90s Drum 'n' bass act A Guy Called Gerald produced a video for "Finley's Rainbow" which features commuters enjoying his music on board a Victoria Line 1967 stock.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sc7ZXYZ8bWg

U.N.K.L.E's video for "Be There" features scenes filmed at then newly reopened Mornington Crescent station on the Northern Line. Features shots of 1959, 1995 and C stock. Notice the continuity error where the woman gets on the 1995 stock train and suddenly she is shown on board a C stock!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdQycB5I6C4

Chicane's video for "Sunstroke" features on board footage of an InterCity East Coast Mark 4.

How about Kraftwerk's Trans-Europe Express?

That Lighthouse Family vid has a few shots of Newcastle Central with what looks to be the old Skipper livery on a 142 - also notice the 47 in RES livery which almost certainly would have been the thunderbird at the time, before they were replaced by the 67s.

Not sure where the narrow gauge line is though?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huNejF17gzg&ob=av2e

is she qualified as a signalperson?

Talking about music my favourite Bruce Springsteen is putting out a new album in march called Wrecking Ball check out new single we take care of our own on youtube love it! 'Where is the work that will set my hands, that will set my soul free...'

 

[Eccles]

Not sure where the narrow gauge line is though?

It's the Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway in Kent, somewhere between Romney Sands and Dungeness.

Spent many a weekend down there as a kid!

 

[Harbon 1]

Coldplay's 'Paradise' has a good chunk filmed on, im guessing, the Piccadilly line, as the elephant is trying to get to Heathrow

Yes you are correct, but he gets on at Belsize Park which is on the Northern Line... Which does not go to Heathrow! It does show the map focusing on Heathrow though.

He might have changed

 

[Schnellzug]

Surely the Northern line is the way to get to the Elephant?

On a music related note, did anyone else always use to think that Madonna's "Borderline" was actually "Northern Line"? No, probably just me.

As someone's already beaton me to both Bronski Beat's Smalltown Boy (Featuring the prototype 210) and Ellie Gouldings Your Song (Featuring one of FGWs HSTs somewhere on the Herefordshire - Worcester route)...Heres one from what is probably my favourate of all bands/groups/artists:

Manic Street Preachers - The Everlasting

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeU_qC5tBOE&feature=relmfu

Which, If you like Euston & the late Intercity era - Heres one for you!

As for the Ellie Goulding Track, here's Ellie's cover (better than the original) of Elton Johns Your Song:

And although not in the UK, the US version of Aloe Blacc's I Need A Dollar does have some US traction

Talking of Madonna and railway links.
On her song Justify My Love she utters the words "Make love on a train. Cross Country" So I reckon she is a closet Voyager basher who read the famous Mile High Club thread from awhile back

The slammers are CIG's

(The interior footage is of a phase 2)

I've posted the original video because it's not interrupted by lots of clips of Terry and June (or something).

 

[Cherry_Picker]

It's a combination of stock footage and a studio made up to look like a train, but the band are so awesome I dont care: Travelling Wilburys - End of the Line

Brilliant. If the word Supergroup had a picture in the dictionary, these would be it.
