Someone earlier mentioned The Who's '5:15'; a reviewer, looking at the photograph in the Quadrophenia album booklet, asked why, if the lead character was going to Brighton, was he photographed going up the stairs at Waterloo, at the Victory Arch. I thought: 'Well, he could change at Clapham Junction.'
When Quadrophenia came out as a film, I'm pretty sure that I noticed in a shot in Shepherd's Bush an underground train of stock that had not been introduced when the film was set in 1964-65, and that some of the motors in the street scenes similarly weren't around then. Perhaps someone who's seen the film more recently can confirm this one way or the other.
The best railway clanger I saw in a film -- and there's stiff competition when it comes to railway clangers in cinema and telly films -- was a drama some years back on the telly that was purportedly showing Maidenhead station, with BR platform signboards of that name, but was clearly on the Southern Region as the actual station was Barnes, third rail and all.
