Dir: Jonathon McLoone
Starring: Edward Brockett and Allanah Carson

A short film about love, missed opportunities, and awkward glances

Location filming for this silent romance took place at Dumbarton Central station and onboard ScotRail Class 320 and Class 334 EMU’s. There are excellent shots of Dumbarton Central with Class 320 No.320306 putting in a star appearence, but a Class 318 EMU appears in extreme closeup at the very end. One other station is also briefly seen. Glimpsed through the window of the train it is not Dumbarton Central, and it remains as yet unidentified. Although Dumbarton Central station was seen in Beautiful Creatures (2000), it is the first known appearence of both Class 318 and Class 320 EMU’s on screen.
