    It was rush hour a minute ago... now there's no one but the driver on this crashing train.

    There’s not even a driver. In the screenplay the train was set remotely by Silva. It wasn’t supposed to be full. It was an empty train.

    The Tennyson lines are a bit too 'luvvy'... but the scene's build up is well put together.
    Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.

    There’s not even a driver. In the screenplay the train was set remotely by Silva. It wasn’t supposed to be full. It was an empty train.

    Why would an empty out of service train have full interior lights on?

    It looks better on screen. And highlights that it’s EMPTY.

    The driver's visible in the shot.

    Does shooting/piercing a fire extinguisher actually cause a smoke grenade effect?

    It's here that the chemistry between Bond and M approaches its peak.

    I know. I’m just saying the screenplay was different. Sorry, was Typing quick so Didn’t make that clear. There wasn’t supposed to be a driver even.... originally.

    Would’ve been cool if the NTTD garage was the same as this one, but the door’s different.

    Best bit of music in the film- and of course it isn't Newman's. Good dialogue too.

    London is full of cameras Silva could hack. Sctoland is still in the 70's. Good plan ;)

    Mallory/Q/Tanner- excellent.

    He’s taking the action away from civilisation to a place he thinks he can control any threats. But he doesn’t realise SKYFALL has been sold off and it’s empty.
