I was just watching Silent Witness ( Falling angles part 1) on iPlayer as I knew part of it was filmed on the tube. There is a part where the police are chasing someone down the tracks. The tracks are 'live' as trains are running but you see the guy run past a crid that is placed on the current rails xD

crid? I thought it was an SCD (Short-circuiting device)? But yes, one of many inconsistencies; still a good watch if you can resist the urge to be irked by the errors.

Yes, an SCD. In one of the sidings at Charing Cross.

Sorry, you are right. I am thinking of the two boxes connected with a lead between them. That SCD is one of the newer types.

Despite the numerous errors, I enjoyed it. Remember 99.9% of people watchng it won't know what's tube accurate or not.

I remember the films Creep and Skyfall were full of tube related mistakes.

I remember the films Creep and Skyfall were full of tube related mistakes. As a fantasy film, Skyfall is full to the brim with other far more unlikely scenarios than the tube stuff. Despite this, it's a cracking film. Funnily enough when I saw it somebody behind me was wittering on about the tube inaccuracies (in the cinema at Scunthorpe of all places). In the end I had to turn round and tell him to shut up as he was ruining the film for everybody!  |

There was an episode of Sherlock called The Empty Hearse near the end they enter a tube train (eather a 67ts or a 72ts), inside however it turns into a D stock!

Is that what it's called? Sounds like she's waking the dead!  |
