Train scene in "Casino Royale"

The 2006 remake of James Bond and "Casino Royale" places James and Eva Green aboard a high speed train in "Montenegro," an impossibility in my view. The train train appears either TGV or ICE with shovel-nose and catenary, but with a different paint scheme. The dining car is modern, deluxe, unlike any I have seen. Any railfan who saw the movie: please comment. In the credits, only locations given are U.K., Italy, Czech Republic, (and France?).

Train accuracy in films is rare. I recall the worst train film I am aware of: The Cassandra Crossing. There are shots of a train under the wires, followed by a subsequent shot of a train hauled by a diesel, among a huge number of nonsenses.

In the real world Montenegro has Serbia's only route to the sea, a definitely non high speed line of traditional build and design from the days of old Yugoslavia. They shuld have called the country Ruritania. It's all fiction.

Haven't seen the film , but if it was filmed partly in England , then possibly the outside shots are of the Eurotrain .

I haven't seen the film and have no plans to see it. I think a TGV is more likely. SNCF has enough spares for filming.

Probably was a ETR Class Pendolino

Czech Pendolino

Yes, it's a Czech PENDOLINO (class "680", similar Italian ETR480), built by Fiat Ferroviaria, now Alstom

Great , weve fiqured it out .
