Dir: Christopher Monger
Starring: Hugh Grant and Tara FitzGerald

Two English explorers declare a Welsh mountain really a hill, much to the annoyance of the local community

There are a couple of short scenes in this popular comedy drama that were filmed at Hampton Loade station on the Severn Valley Railway one of which shows the rear of a departing train. 1923-built GWR Brake Unclassed Saloon No.9369 is the last vehicle.

Ian McNeice and Hugh Grant approach Hampton Loade station on foot
The train pulls out of the station with GWR Brake Unclassed Saloon No.9369 on the rear
Once the train has pulled clear the upside station buildings are revealed. These two shots were filmed through the doorway of the main booking office.
In the final scene, Ian McNeice and Hugh Grant trudge up to the station in the pouring rain. That roaring fire looks very inviting indeed.
