Nightsleeper: Thriller set on Glasgow to London sleeper wraps up filming

Filming on a major new television drama wraps up this weekend in Cumbernauld. Suspenseful thriller Nightsleeper, produced by Euston Films for the coveted BBC One Sunday evening 9pm slot, is set on an overnight train between Glasgow to London. It stars Peaky Blinders and Gangs of London actor Joe Cole and Alexandra Roach, who has featured in Utopia and No Offence. “It’s about a train, a night-sleeper train that is overtaken by a hijacking incident. And various things go wrong over the course of the journey,” said Joe. “I’m on the train being part of the team trying to sort it out”. A purpose-built set has been created at the Pioneer Film Studios – one of the largest film studios in Scotland. It’s complete with a life-size train set and video walls to make it seem like it’s moving.
