A psychopath stalks a young figure skater

This psychological thriller features a railway journey from Newcastle to London with Jack Watson onboard Mk3 coaching stock which was almost brand new at the time. He is then seen leaving the train at London Euston and 87034 is at the head (or rear) of the train. Before this, however, there is a brief glimpse of Class 101 DMU’s passing on the approaches to Newcastle Central station, an obscured shot of a train passing over Brunswick Court in south east London with only its roof line visible, and a shot of the frontage to King’s Cross station.

Jack Watson leaves the train upon arrival into London. The number 34 through the window of the open carriage door tells us that the loco is 87034 whilst the tower blocks behind are part of the Ampthill Estate, which tells us this is Euston.
It is quite unusual to see the whole of King’s Cross. This elevated view, probably taken from St Pancras, shows its rather inconspicuous nature when compared to its big brother next door.
