Surely with two constables, in the time it took to get down to the train
level, one of them could have gotten the station supervisor to shut
things down?

Didn't stop 50 police in riot gear marching 200 Chelsea supporters down to
the westbound, which was in severe delay mode, at Liverpool Street Monday
night without bothering to tell anyone what they planned. EIRF is in my GSMs
hands, ready to take the issue to BTPs bosses next week.

And a Northern line train from Charing Cross to Liverpool Street (then he
runs around the streets and is back in the park by Embankment again!).

He, he - such pedantry. ;-)

This reminds me of quite a few years back when I saw several DLR
trains parked at All Saints with the destination "Brunswick", which
got me wondering until a few weeks later the DLR appeared on the Bill
(mainly at what appeared to be Bank for the platform scenes) with this
as the destination on all the trains they used.

I seem to remember some station entrance scenes as well, which may
have been somewhere like Westferry or Limehouse, but my memory of the
episode is very hazy.

It's extremely rare for The Bill to move too far away from their base in
Merton, due to cost. The furthest I've known them go (until I read your
post) was Croydon!

Brunswick (after the nearby dock) was the name originally intended for
what became East India station when the DLR opened. Since "Brunswick"
had been coded into the destination displays, it is now used to indicate
that a train awaiting service has been cleaned.

until a few weeks later the DLR appeared on the Bill (mainly at what
appeared to be Bank for the platform scenes) with this as the

True. I guess they used clean trains that didn't yet have any filth in
them ...

They often do their car chases around the railway viaduct into London
Bridge, sort of Bermondsey area.

A few weeks ago, there was an episode about a body by a railway track
which I assume was around Willesden somewhere, given the Pendolino
going past.

When they use maps nowadays, it's nearly always Tower Hamlets,
including Isle of Dogs, but I remember an larger scale map being used
a few years ago which, from the arrangement of the railway lines, had
to be Wimbledon.

Further north non-railway locations I remember recognising include the
City of London and the alms houses in Greenwich. However, I normally
suspend my disbelief and believe in the fictional locations until I
see a train go past ...
