That is utterly hellfire!

I wonder what Tube management made of it though - I suspect anyone trying a repeat would be swiftly evicted by security, it's a wonder these folk didn't get hassled.

I hate to ruin the illusion, but this would absolutely have to be cleared with the London Underground Filming Unit. The is no way it would be allowed and besides, if they had started out without permission, a member of staff would either have reported it or had been made aware of it by a member of the public.

If it was impromptu, then as DM1 says, it is a huge health and safety risk. If bicycles are not allowed in tunnel sections or any object over 6ft, then I am sure an erected folding table wouldn't be deemed sensible. In the event of an emergency, how might people get off of the train ?
Let alone the use of glassware in the carriage. Drinking glasses [ usually from pubs ] are not permitted, empty or otherwise, to be carried on to the platform ( presumably therefore trains ) area through the station.

If it was not given the go ahead, these kids are very possibly in trouble. The credits really should have included a thank you to LUL for allowing them to make their film.

But, hey if they can recreate an Orient Express feel to the Jubilee line train then that has to be an achievement . . . . . . even if if only goes as far as Stratford !

I can see it now . . . . Kilburn, Gateway To The East !

:shock:
