The Great London To Brighton Train Disaster

[heene]

Have had a few enquiries about the music. The soundtrack was by Kim McCroddanm who worked at the famous Radiophonic Workshop at the BBC.

The track had no specific title or name.



[mrfreekick1992]

At the end, what was the movie that you made for the crash?

[MrBriancollison]

BBC made it in 1953 with different ending, titled London to Brighton in 4 minutes.

[MrBriancollison]

this is the London to Brighton in 5 minutes film, shown on tv sometimes, normal ending shows it pulling into Brighton station right up to the buffers, the end of the line.It is quite a few years old.

[MrBriancollison]

this was the film shown a lot of years ago, London to Brighton in 5 minutes, has been shown on the BBC before, except for the last coloured part which is not original.

[LOCOMOTIONNUMBER1]

That's what happens when you travel using only a platform ticket.

The Great Silver Streak Train Crash

[JoeyDPro2009]

fuck you yankee bastard!

[geography27]

Haha.. that was funny :- ) The film at the end is 'Silver Streak' with Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor in it, from 1976.

[girljamdk1]

No no no The end is from the Movie Silver Streak with Gene Wilder

[dkbmaestrorules]

haha! what film is the end bit from?

[alnitaka]

This train is traveling at 983 mph!

[alnitaka]

How fast is this train going? It starts at 0 in London and crashes at 3:13 in Brighton, a distance of 52.7 miles according to Google. 52.7 miles/(3+13/60 minutes)*60 minutes/hour = 983 mph. This train is going at nearly 1,000 mph, faster than a commercial airplane!

[welshpete12]

How the hell did an American loco get on the British railway ?

[PolarisUSMC]

*Train hits wooden table in gift shop* *EXPLOSION*

[MrDylanmatusevics]

that a uk train its from the use at the end

[bigbomb1986]

its not casandra crossing its silver streak

and thare are no trains like that in england cuz i live

thare as well except im near london

[jammyhartley]

I was no good at maths, so can someone tell me the speed the train was averaging on the journey.

[jammyhartley]

I'm surprised the train didn't derail on the curves!

[kaiyan246]

3:36 i think that part of the clip theres a movie

[kaiyan246]

was this speeded up by bbc or you speeded it up

[robertgift]

Well done!

Any level crossings on that line?

[9978412]

The only disaster is that I fell for it and wasted 5 minutes of my time.

[DublinMan79]

Superb music... who is it? Contrary to a comment written below, it is definitely NOT "Jumping Someone else's Train" by The Cure. Who is it then? I'm wondering if it's Tangerine Dream...

[Pellaz2112]

Wow, awesome, haven't seen that ending clip (from the film Silver Streak) in a long time.

I really feel sorry for that F-unit. :)

[Everyvideo123]

hahahahahahah

[flcl64]

if i were in a situation like that tho, i wouldve gone in back and cut the fuel and called ahead to have the line cleared untill we ran out

[bules72]

@heene Very funny ending.

[spatzk]

Well done heene. Entertaining

[WildeEdge88]

@heene FUCK! i fell for it!

[tryithere]

Kind of funny that Brighton in NY America is really just a small neighborhood but does have a subway line named after it.

[theguysweb]

I live near Brighton and the the station looks completely unlike that. If you want to do it realisticly, get a train crashing through a station, down an urban street and into the sea.

[90005NXEA]

Isn't that a foreign train which crashes?

[trainster100]

the end crash is from the movie Silver Streak. awesome movie.

[NijaSkittle]

still kinda intresting to watch

[alukuhito]

This is the video for the Cure's song "Jumping Someone Else's Train." Do you know that?

[michael13man]

shit shit shit and err shit how can a train pull into brighton (where i live) and then suddenly become an american train and crash into an american station

[eugenespeed]

Hahahaha, nice one.

Was that Silver Streak at the end?

Not seen that film in years.

[BerilacBulge]

Music is my fave here.

What tune?

By who?

Where can I find?

Help appreciated.

[BerilacBulge]

Loved the music.

What is it from and can I find it anywhere?

BTW,interesting video.

[kings12344]

that isnt even filmed in the uk.

it looks like it is filmed in the states

[ajaaronjoe]

London RULES

[wodks]

Like the music. Someone knows the name of it?

[SilsdenCougar]

Not bad. American train at the end, can see the funny side. Seen the film what the end clip is from.

[59AJ59]

lmao it was that stupid it was funny..

[Deebemc]

as usual I tried to read the station name plates............and failed, as usual! Good fun!

[duke68012]

what movie is the train crash from???

[djdinodave]

is the crash real?

[eddbno1]

in went an one of those simulators n they had this vid so it makes u feel like your goin 2 london 2 brightnon fast

[megalomaniac1992]

haha Brighton (where i live) is somehow in America now! nice one

[NVanWendy]

@megalomaniac1992 Wasn't America, anyway. That was a Canadian Pacific loco - the movie Silver Streak was made in Canada.

(I know; pointless comment.)

[clocktwibright]

what's the name of the music track?

[chris13140]

Not so difficult job!!!!lol

this is the video clip of THE CURE...

The song was "jumping someone else train"....

Only the end is different;i saw the film but i don"t remember the title...

[heene]

Parts of this may have been used by The Cure in their music video, but it was made by The BBC.

[BishopTJH]

That ending came from the movie 'Silver Streak'.

[Quellepaur]

@chris13140 It's the ending of "Silver Bullet" w/ Gene Wilder

[Brooksie130470]

End bit Cassandra Crossing film with Richard Harris

[srduke]

Not quite, it was from Silver Streak with Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor.

[JBofBrisbane]

@Brooksie130470 - End bit actually Silver Streak starring Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor.

[davidhaythornthwaite]

@Brooksie130470 its not, cassandra crossing was a bridge

[Mattube1964]

@Brooksie130470

Are you sure it's Cassandra Crossing? I think it is Silver Streak.

[wso101]

lol at the end with the car :P

[whatislife67]

wow, EPIC, lol =P

[LegoGladiater]

thye used this for AC/DC rock n roll train video!!! awesome!!!

[alukuhito]

No. This is from "Jumping Someone Else's Train" an old song by The Cure, one of their first singles in the early 80's.

[opensourcethong]

the music makes this video ever so slightly creepy

[wnied]

Epic Fail

[mattieniki]

wow scary, but is a real or a film?

[alastair4151]

Remember seeing this on TV back in July 1983,didn't have the same ending though!

[hgmjbtl]

the was cool and weird all in 1 go and the music was pretty trippy good endimg though

[Yownanymous]

It just goes to show: The FP7s were well built. :P

[clarko95]

Ahahahaha! Good one! I would never have come up with such a good idea.Ahahahahahahahaha!

[shaboomang]

that was scary,werd and funny

[sonicdistortion12]

Man. That Train Had A Fair Bit Of Momentum To Go That Far Through Concrete/Marble

[JBofBrisbane]

@sonicdistortion12 - movie sets are not made of concrete or marble.

[DALEKDAVE45]

this is so funny

[shevah2]

Imagine in the future when your train goes at that speed, would be scary and cool

[steveallen808909]

i was hoping it went down west street and ended up on the brighon pier then caught fire now thats an ending love the music a new mix could be good keeping those analogue sounds

[MinnieMii17]

sad........but funny

[bobblackcloud]

Super ending, not what I was expecting. :-)

[steveallen808909]

love this creepy music eighties style oo yeahh

[PhilLynott1949]

shitt when did this happen?

[tab1976]

They used to show this between programmes on TV when I was a kid, used to count the bridges! Always remember the dodgy synth music!

[thetreeregimovies]

lol it smashed through the gift shop

[mrrayco]

LOL...Very well done...LOL...

[ronthecyborg]

lmao @ the end. That gave it 5 stars.

[olympian2174]

I think this was part of a Britsh Rail promotional video advertising the Brighton service. They did a similar one for the HST from Kings Cross - Peterborough called'HST1250'

[gatler05]

damn thats fast

[Jackpot807]

It seems like part of a 1980's movie -_-
