Good Film, But ...

... shouldn't there have been a lot more police activity along the route? We see a few police cars and a few cops standing around in a station. But a hijacked train speeding through Kent would be a pretty big deal, no? I would have expected lots of police and emergency equipment at every stop and all along the route, helicopters following the train, attempts to contact the passengers through their cell phones and the like, not to mention lots and lots of news media everywhere. Also, at one point quite late in the film, a train passes going the other way, but I would think by then the tracks would have been completely closed and cleared in both directions.

Perhaps it was a function of the low budget, or perhaps it was part of the effort (which overall I liked) to keep the focus on the passengers' experience, but it seemed to me that this rather major event was taken a bit lightly by the authorities.
