Over the years, there have been a number of occasions when professional film crews have visited the railway. This page is an attempt to log these and give information as to the subsequent use made of the filming.
This includes clips for TV programmes, whole TV programmes, and commercial videos
I am sorry but, except for the ones marked, we cannot give any indication as to commercial availability of any of the recordings. The source indicates person from whom the information came from - it does not indicate they own such material.
