I was about to say exactly the same thing before I went to the toilet and came back to find that my dad had nicked my spot at the computer. :evil:

ah... it came up on metafilter yesterday along with a link to HG - hence the spike in users yesterday.

What browser are you using?

If it's Firefox, I just had the same problem while checking to see if it was the original video, or if someone had been keen enough to repeat the exercise.

5 browser deaths in a row (with resets). Switched over to IE and it was fine.

I was using Firefox, will try IE later.

if only he had managed to get the ticket in the gate faster at the end he may have made the doors. Makes you feel like your running with him

knackered now, :), got it to work in IE - thank for the advice!

i thought the video was quite well done with the music and everything

Do you think SPT knew anything about this?

by **JayKay** » Tue Jan 24, 2006 12:12 pm

I'd suspect not. Knowing the subway they'd have threatened to strike in a demand for some spurious fees from the filmmaker before granting permission.

by **Ally Doll** » Tue Jan 24, 2006 12:23 pm

According to their website, you have to pay £200 an hour(!) to film on SPT locations, and have a great deal of insurance! http://www.spt.co.uk/filming/

Do those fees apply to a transport buff taking a snap ?
