Just how did Janine manage to get the car out of the way of the oncoming train and Ryan put the carrycot on the road, when in Friday's episode it was distinctly shown that the yellow barriers came down trapping the car on the lines from both sides?
Pinkilady, no I did not go back and check. I'm not (I'm sorry to tell you) quite that obsessive. I just remembered. In reality she would not just be able to drive forward if a barrier was in place. I know things should be taken with a pinch of salt, but sometimes little things like that stick out. Like sallabananas said, continuity error (and EastEnders make plenty of them).
Ryan got the baby out and placed her on the road side of the half-barrier behind the car.
I can't remember exactly, but wasn't it a multitrack line? In which case she could have driven it across onto the adjacent track. She certainly didn't drive it onto the road until the train had passed and the barriers gone up.
