Default The Thick Of It

Substantial parts of this week's episode were filmed on board a Grand
Central class 180. As the journey was supposed to be to Bradford, an
unusual example of accuracy.

I wonder if they hired an entire train and drove it up and down some test
track or just hired a carraige on a regular service and had to get it all
in the can before it reached its destination?

I entirely agree. Another brilliant episode, and highly commendable attention to detail. Looked like a GC 180 in regular service to Bradford, with the entourage making a hurried exit and re-entry at Brighouse (name just visible on the Metro sign).

Could some-one try to x-post this to uk.railway? I put it here by
mistake and have tried to cross-post several times (and to reply to
Boltar) without success.
