Whats happening on the Aldgate branch these days?
 
Have any more films been made down there recently or has it been
superseded by jubilee Charing X? Is that old northern line train down
there still or has it been hauled off the the scrapyard?

Yes the little train is still down there... Last time I was in the area it
was hiding down the tunnel rather than sat in the platform like it normally
is...

That train is used for stuff. I don't see it being towed away for a while.

Not sure about who's filming where - The last lot I saw was on the WL&C one
morning going to the office. There is a post here somewhere, but no one knew
what it was that was being filmed.

Er, I presume you mean the Aldwych branch?!

AFAIAA nothing's changed w.r.t. the Aldwych branch. Bear in mind that
the Charing X branch of the Jubilee is used for reversing trains when
things go snafu, so it's not like it's no longer part of the
operational railway.

Yes , thats the one :) My mind was elsewhere.

The most recent films using Aldwych station (according to IMDB) are "The
Bank Job" and "The Edge of Love" both 2008. I am unable to give a critical
appreciation of either.

Not something that usually stops most film critics!
