The star was also seen at work in the Peak District as he filmed a disaster scene for the movie in which a train plunged into a quarry.

Cruise, who is known for taking on many of his own stunts, has previously filmed a motorbike freefall off a cliff for the film and was spotted shooting a high-speed car chase in Rome earlier in the year.

He told Empire magazine of the motorbike stunt: “If the wind was too strong, it would blow me off the ramp.

“The helicopter [filming the stunt] was a problem, because I didn’t want to be hammering down that ramp at top speed and get hit by a stone. Or if I departed in a weird way, we didn’t know what was going to happen with the bike.

"I had about six seconds once I departed the ramp to pull the chute and I don’t want to get tangled in the bike. If I do, that’s not going to end well."
