Episode #6.6 - S6-E6

Continuity mistake: When the plane lands, they use stock footage of a Boeing 747 with four engines visible. All other shots are a 757 with two engines.

Episode #3.5 - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: Danny is on the range firing a chrome/silver Beretta pistol. The other agent on the range takes it from him, but when he is shown shooting it has changed to a black Glock. When he hands it back it has become a Beretta again.

Episode #4.2 - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: The ladder carried by a bomber is a plain, ordinary ladder. After he puts it up against a post, it changes to an extendable one made up of three connected ladders.

The Lesser of Two Evils - S1-E6

Question: In this episode, Patrick McCann and his IRA splinter group plot to blow up "Broad Street Station" in London. In reality, British Rail beat him to it years ago. The real Broad Street Station closed in 1986, and has since been demolished (an office complex now stands on the site). Does anyone know which railway station (or stations) posed as the fictional Broad Street Station in this episode?

Answer: The shots of the tube station closing and the shot of the concourse were shot at Marylebone station. There is also a shot of the tracks in which a sign is visible pointing to Southwark station and the Jubilee Line, and I suspect this is a stock shot filmed at Waterloo station.
