Recent history
Coronation Street
In June 2010 the trolley took a starring role in ITV’s long running soap Coronation Street. Filmed on the East Lancashire Railway, Bury, the plot centred on a sabotaged wedding train, a stranded bride and a conveniently located pump trolley. The episode aired over the August bank holiday weekend, and you’ll be relieved to know that the bride made it to the wedding!
Barclays advert
The trolley has also been the star of a Barclays advert to promote tracker mortgages.
In December 2010 the pump trolley and two panels of track were taken to a London studio for filming. With the metalwork temporarily painted blue, and with a large amount of CGI around it, the trolley yet again showed its film star qualities.
