Dir: John Strickland
Starring: Stephen John Shepherd and Alec Newman

Six London school-leavers attempt to make it in the world by balancing the pressures and tragedies of everyday life

The opening scenes of this uninspiring drama feature a roof walk on a moving train. The sequence sadly involved some bad editing as the walk involves two types of rolling stock, a rake of Mk1 coaches and an NSE-liveried Class 115 DMU. The scene was filmed on the Nene Valley Railway and starts and ends (!) with the train entering Wansford Tunnel (616 yards).

An Anvil Films production, featuring a Class 115 DMU complete with roof walker
The stunt in progress. This was filmed on the Nene Valley Railway using a Class 115 DMU.
The final view shows the train entering Wansford Tunnel, and the rolling stock has changed to BR Mark 1 coaching stock!
