  • Didcot Railway Centre As a Location for Filming

    Didcot Railway Centre As a Location for Filming

    Didcot Railway Centre as a location for filming Over the years, Didcot Railway Centre (DRC) has been used for the making of various scenes for many main stream films, the making of documentaries, and the shooting of scenes for well known television dramas, as well as commercials. The reasons for this are as follows:- 1. Original Great Western Railway (GWR) buildings and structures. The main such building, the original four track 1932-built engine shed, being adaptable to many purposes. The shed has been used in filming such as The Incredible Sarah, Rowntrees Secret TV commercial and an episode of Inspector Morse. It has been disguised as main line train termini representing several different countries. Glenda Jackson during filming of The Incredible Sarah. Equally, the Transfer Shed at the end of the branch line is a wooden structure used to tranship goods from standard to broad gauge in the early days of steam. The station has an island platform with both standard gauge and the broad gauge track that Isambard Kingdom Brunel designed for the original Great Western Railway in the 1830s. A (working) reproduction of the broad gauge locomotive Fire Fly dating from 1840 is available, hence, train travel as it was over 150 years ago, can be recreated! The location was used in the filming of the Channel 4 series The Camomile Lawn and more recently Carrie’s War and The Elephant Man. The station is ideal for platform shots and period settings and has been used on many occasions as Paddington Station. Dan Cruickshank being filmed in the Transfer Shed for his documentary series Great Railway Adventures.
