Can anyone identify the london terminus (1983) in a music video

[concerned1]

in the pop music video ‘get out of london’ by Interferon. Looks like it might be Liverpool Street’s roof at one point (pre-renovation), then it switches to what might be Holborn Viaduct or Broad Street in the Chase scene through the covered footbridges.

Also interested if anyone can identify the EMU used towards the end of the video... I’d be interested to know!

I can't help with the stations, but the EMU is almost certainly a North London Line 2-EPB, which would tie in with your guess of Broad Street.
You could ask the singer? http://www.simonfellowes.com/music.html

Looks like Broad Street to me.

This picture from the disused station website looks like the platform direction signs that appear in the video.

Broad St, but I think it's a BR standard not a Bulleid, so an LMR 3-car (501?). Can't get the pause button right to confirm it, though!

The first of the linked pictures shows that the station was undeniably Broad Street. Note the memorial and the sign for "Van Dyke Builders", both clearly visible in the video.

That is a 3-car Class 501 in Broad Street station. Until 1985 they were the only type using the station, and sets from the peak service to Watford spend all of a weekday laying over in the platforms, likely useful for this filming. THe window bars were a requirement for stock working on the North London Line through Hampstead tunnel, presumably very tight. The big change in 1985 closed this main part of the station, diverted the Broad Street to Richmond service to run North Woolwich to Richmond, put the SR-pattern 2-EPB on that service, built a temporary single wooden platform out on the viaduct at the north-east end of Broad Street, with a new temporary entrance, changed the handful of remaining Watford services over to 313s, and scrapped all the 501s.

Colleague in The City at the time (just pre-1985) commuted Pinner to Liverpool Street on the Met, but when there was an Underground strike came from Hatch End to Broad Street, which he never previously knew existed.

It is indeed broad street station...

When the guy starts walking you can see the old way memorial in the background..
