We are aware that there are films on the site that were added when the criteria for the inclusion of locations was very different from today and, as a result, there may be scenes missing from some productions. Please do not forward additional screen captures to us but bring the detail to our attention, for we do, and are, 're-addressing' these older entries as time allows.

The very beginning of the film sees Toni Beaumont (Antoinette Lupino) entering Victoria station in London SW1. Terminus Place features in many productions including ‘Robbery’, ‘The End of the Line’, ‘Night Ferry’, ‘Say Hello to Yesterday’, 'Two on the Tiles', ‘Man From Tangier’, ‘Child in the House’ and ‘Forbidden Cargo’.

So much more clutter. SJ

The very end of the film sees Private Randle (Frank Randle) chasing after a train at an unidentified Southern Region station. It has four platforms and a Signalbox - could it be Barnes? That's quite near to the Riverside Studio in Hammersmith where the film was shot.

Yes, it is Barnes - Platform 4. (PW)
