STRANGERS ON A TRAIN

GB

6mins
Dir: John Wheatley
Starring: Alex Moore and Meray Diner

A young woman boards a train late at night only to realise that a mysterious man is watching her every move

This quirky little drama about an unsolved murder is, sadly, not without fault. It was filmed on the ScotRail system and opens with a prolonged night shot of Class 170 ‘Turbostar’ DMU No.170478 arriving into Rosyth station. This is then followed by another shot of a similar unit passing over a level crossing at speed. The film is largely shot onboard a ScotRail Class 158 ‘Sprinter’ DMU with the final scene of the perpetrator leaving the train being filmed at Dunblane station.
