Two brothers in financial trouble plan to kill in order to help a shady uncle

There is one scene in this thriller that is filmed in a bar overlooking Camden Carriage Sidings and a number of EMUs are visible. Several Class 321’s are stabled in the sidings themselves, whilst a Class 313 (or 508) and a Class 390 ‘Pendolino’ pass behind on the West Coast main line. Later, there is a scene at London Paddington station with a Class 180 ‘Adelante’ DMU, an HST set, and a Class 332 ‘Heathrow Express’ EMU visible in the background, plus a shot of the old taxi rank alongside Eastbourne Terrace.

The view from the fire escape at the back of The Pembroke Castle, in Gloucester Avenue, Primrose Hill. At least eight Class 321 EMU’s are stabled in Camden Carriage Sidings awaiting the afternoon peak.
