  hi steven, there is some trainstations in berlin you could shoot at. could you please send me some reference pics of the train you have in mind and the platform? is there a certain budget for the location? how many hours do you need the station. day or night? would a tubestation work as well?

  i know, lots of questions. but answers would be extremly helpful to send you some serious proposals. cheers, kai@saltberlin.tv

  hi steven,

  in poland we have a lot of different train stations (modern old, big and small)…maybe you would come to us to shoot your film…it’s pretty easy to get the right location and it’s still not expensive…please send me some references photos and more details of your project.
  kind regards

  Thanks so much to everyone who has posted here so far. The European stations look great but our budget won’t stretch to foreign travel on this shoot. So I’m primarily looking for 2 rural train stations in the south East of England and also a train to film on.

  Hope this extra info helps.

  Many thanks,
  Steve

  The Bluebell Line in Kent has two stations and several trains though it’s all quite period. I did a huge recce of private railway lines and stations for The Saint a few years ago but I’m sure things won’t have changed much. markjones487@me.com

  Hi Steven
  Filming with the railways is very specialised as the H&S implications are significant and many train operators are unwilling to respond as they get so many poorly targeted enquiries. Check out http://www.space2rail.com and give me a ring. I was consultant for the short ‘Open Return’ which filmed in Nottingham, Birmingham, Exeter and Barnstaple stations plus a private line in Derbyshire for the travelling train interiors. I can help you, even if you want to keep in the SE.

  Hi Steven

  Seen your post and perhaps you may be interested in Lincs Wolds Railway at Ludborough in Lincolnshire?

  I’ve approached them before, they’re a bunch of enthusiasts as opposed to local authority run or an agency.

  Details as follows and a few pics attached..They have old trains and a station too..I have more photos if you email me directly..It’s twee and well out in the English countryside if thats what you’re looking for? and probably at a good price too?

  PS..i know lincs quite well, if you need an LM up there..?

  Hey Steve,

  I believe you are looking for locations in Europe and geographicaly speaking Cuba is not in Europe, however we have great locations to offer. If it does not work this time you can think of us on your next projects.

  Check out following location link:
