Which loco in life on mars?

[Nym]

How quick is the internet? Which loco was that on Life on mars BBC2 in Colour? Looked like a 50 to me

 

[Mojo]

Towards the end? Looks like a 47.

47402 at the East Lancs Railway.

The boyfriend just said "well..." about the speed of the internet there

I could've given the answer before it even appeared on TV!

 

[Darandio]

What was the headcode, only caught a glimpse

 

[class 313]

Yep! a 47 on the ELR. Bang Bang ^^

 

[Demps]

Looks lieka 50, what!, as soon as i seen the blue tone i knew it was a 47 never mind its looks, haha.

Very good end to the program though.

 

[Bastiaan]

Please don´t tell any clues about the second episode of Life on Mars. I still have to watch it at the Dutch television

 

[The Snap]

Was this last night? Will have a look and tell you if it's the ELR or not, and if it's 47402

 

[kestrel]

Its 47402 and was filmed on the ELR


looks like there might be another series of it tho the way it ended

 

[Beaker]

It was the last ever episode i believe.

 

[mbonwick]

Probbly be another though, the 'last ever' is a ploy to up the viewing figures.

Have to say, haven't watched it at all

 

[Darandio]

I think it will be the last episode but there is a spinoff series being made about Gene Hunt.

Was a pretty good end....but not enough emphasis on the 47...which was indeed 47402. Headcode was about right at 2L02?, however noted the formation was two Mark 1 Maroons (I'd of thought they'd be Blue Grey by 1973?) and two Dogfish wagons and bauxite brake...at least it seemed. I was very delighted to see since it was 1973 they had a working headcode box diesel.

Was indeed 47402 - will find out when it was filmed.

It all kicked off on the Bury side of Brooksbottom tunnel, just outside Summerseat. That signal which the train stopped at doesn't exist in real life, and must have been placed there for the show especially, to allow for the tunnel scene.

Nice little earner for us there I assume!

Headcode was about right at 2L02?, .

No, 2L05 not 2L02. I have it recorded. Were the interior shots a set or actual mkIIs?

It was 47402, it should have looked like this:

 

[pedned]

was definatly 402 and as soon as i saw bury-bolton street station i was like, ELR!!, i was hoping 40145 had been filmed for it though, with it being in manchester and all. But oh well... never get everything you want.
Would have been a hellfire departure as well if i know the lancs well enough :P

I think it will be the last episode but there is a spinoff series being made about Gene Hunt.

They are doing a spin-off series, called "Ashes to Ashes" (note the Bowie theme), that will feature Gene Hunt, but he has been transferred from GMP to the Met, and he will be sidekicked by a woman called "Alex", according to the Evening Standard.

 

[pedned]

Thats what the actor who plays Gene said when he was interviewed on the Chris Moyles breakfast show, on radio 1.

Probably just a coincidence...
