==Filming on the SVR==
A small anachronism; the film includes several references to the crime taking place on the day of the launch of Sputnik I, dating it to October 1957. After 1951 [[Carriage and Wagon numbering |GWR carriages were renumbered]] with additional letters to account for the introduction of Mk 1 stock. However the GWR carriages seen on the 4.33 at Paddington still have (fictional) GWR-style numbers like 6041 rather than the period correct W6041W.
==Other information==
