They've been more than happy to mingle with the general public at the theatre and while out shopping, but Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie decided that their family's five hour journey to Scotland should be done away from prying eyes and autograph hunters. And they clearly decided that taking over a first class carriage wasn't going to be enough for their brood - so they chartered the entire train instead.
The A-list couple and their six children were snapped arriving at Euston station this morning in a large black people carrier and surrounded by bodyguards and members of their entourage. They were then taken to their Virgin train and got comfortable for the long journey to Scotland, where Brad is set to shoot scenes for his new film World War Z.
Glasgow city centre is being transformed into Philadelphia for the film, with crews putting up yellow traffic lights, and bringing in yellow taxis and white police cars resembling those in the US city. Signs for famous locations 16th street and John F Kennedy Boulevard were also visible in the area.
When they arrived at 2.30pm, silver vehicles with tinted glass were allowed onto platform 11 to whisk them away from a waiting crowd.
Glasgow City Council said the production will involve almost 1,200 people and the impact on local economy is expected to be more than £2 million.
A spokeswoman for Virgin Trains confirmed to that the couple had chartered a train for their trip to Glasgow. He wouldn't reveal prices and said each client would be charged on their individual needs.
She added: 'As far as I am aware, Brad and Angelina hired the whole train. 'It is a bespoke service so prices would vary on the individual, people have different needs from station requirements to catering.'
Brad, 47, and Angelina, 36, have been staying in Richmond while Brad shoots his film and has been down in Falmouth, Cornwall filming scenes on a ship.
The family have been to the theatre in London twice during their stay and hanging out in Richmond, where they visited a family-run toy shop.
Karen Khatchik, who runs the store with her husband and sister-in-law, said: 'She (Angelina) bought lots of small items like craft-making, stickers, tattoos, they were things for a trip they have planned.'
Brad plays Brooks who scours the world collecting the stories and experiences of those who have survived ten years after the human victory over the world wide zombie epidemic.
Marc Forster, who directed Bond classic Quantum Of Solace, is the man behind the lens, while Mireille Enos, who plays leading lady Sarah Linden in The Killing, will play Brad's wife.
