A drug pusher can take a job as a waiter so long as he gets a decent pair of shoes

This strange drama features a number of railway scenes, the first of which sees the characters boarding an NSE slam door unit at an unknown London terminus. This is then followed by the same crowd leaving Goring and Streatley station in the Thames Valley with a Class 117 DMU departing in the background. In a final scene towards the end, Steven Mackintosh is onboard a Southern Region ‘slam door’ electric unit at London Waterloo (identified from the station announcement) followed by a very good shot of Class 421 4 CIG EMU No.1762 departing Portsmouth Harbour station.

Passengers rush to board a train at Platform 10 of a London termini. Could this be a Class 117 DMU at Paddington?
