Transport error on Christmas Day EastEnders

[OMGitsDAVE]

TV in general is pretty poor on things like this.

Didn't Aidensfield manage to retain a full steam service long after 1968 ( working forwards from the timescale of the first series )?

That may be because it was filmed on the North Yorkshire Moors, where there IS a steam railway...

No, Walford East is *supposed* to be on the District, in place of Bromley-by-Bow. But the episode on Thursday had scenes shot on East Finchley's Northbound platform.

More recently the Class 24 has played a starring role in Heartbeat.

Yes, in a lot of episodes you can see D Stock's, and some scenes have used the interiors of these trains (obviously a studio but ah well)

With announcements saying 'This is Walford East, next station Bow Road'

They've at least made some effort, they could of course not filmed the scene, i'm sure your typical Eastenders viewer couldn't give a toss

Speaking of which, how many Enders fans actually live in an area where they might be used to 'D'-stock? I can guarantee that the answer is either (a) a huge proportion or (b) almost none, with no intermediate value.
