Factual error: Captain Scott is sometimes seen with a Mk VI Webley, a historical anachronism as these date from 1915 onwards, whilst the film is set in 1905. This is also a continuity error as sometimes (particularly later in the film when he is fighting van Layden on the train roof) he now carries a much more period-correct Webley (MK V or earlier).

Continuity mistake: The escape train stops at a station at which another train has been the site of a massacre. One of the victims of this massacre has his head leaning out of a railway carriage window. As Kenneth More and Lauren Bacall from the escape train walk about the station, he can be seen raising and then lowering his head again as he realises that the 'take' is not complete.
