Train Chartering supplies train location for BBC movie drama
Train Chartering operated a train as the key location for a BBC movie drama, Passer By, as well as sourcing a station location. Film production on the UK mainline railway is solved by using Train Chartering's expertise.
(PRWEB) March 27, 2004 ---Train Chartering -- www.trainchartering.com - has supplied a train for an upcoming BBC two-part drama, Passer By, to be screened Sunday 28th and Monday 29th March on BBC1. This new drama by Tony Marchant focuses on the modern day dilemma of whether or not to get involved in an unfolding potentially dangerous scenario. Directed by David Morrissey, the lead actor is James Nesbitt.
Key to the drama is the train, which needed to reinforce the realism of this contemporary story. The BBC's producers and location scouts came to Train Chartering, which has the skills and experience to organise filming on the UKs mainline railway. Filming took place while the train was moving on the railway, and then static at a station chosen to represent one in the London suburbs. Shoots also included scenes outside the station entrance. Filming on the UK mainline railway is rare due to the planning complexities, at which Train Chartering is expert.
Although Train Chartering ran a typical standard class commuter train for this BBC production, a wide range of other rolling stock is available. Examples include a Victorian saloon car, Pullman dining trains, first class carriages, goods wagons and an Edwardian luxury train with sleeper accommodation.
