I'm watching the J.K.Rowling story... a made-for-tv film about the author of Harry Potter.

...and it's amusingly cringeworthy.

The current part is set in 1993. So far:

- She's took a Virgin Pendelino (in 1993) from London to Manchester, to get to Edinburgh
- The interior of the Pendelino had black leather seats and large windows (I wish)
- The Virgin guard (pushing the oh-so typical candy trolley) gave her free jelly beans, "courtesy of British Rail"
- Edinburgh in 1993 has buses which look remarkably like 2011 Wright Eclipse Geminis, in NX:WM livery to boot
- Despite being in Edinburgh, everybody has the strongest of stereotypical Irish accents
- In Italy, she took what appeared to be a GNER branded 225, but I could be wrong.

Oh dear. I'm sure it will get better from here!

Any other amusing train related gaffs in films?
