    I should be able to work this out, but I keep just catching a fleeting second of the current QuickQuid advert which appears to feature a heritage railway. From the glimpses I guessed the GCR might fit the bill but I'm not confident.

    Thanks for that. Glad to know I wasn't completely off-beam! It was interesting because the woman in the advert was clearly supposed to be a 'modern day commuter' but the setup was obviously heritage.

    I'm sure they found it was massively cheaper than filming on NR but I'm surprised they didn't just CGI all/most/some of it to make it less obvious that the setting was 'wrong'!
