That's nice
Had to think about it, but I guess you took a high frame rate video from a train whilst zooming through a station?

Exactly so: the other tricks are making sure you're at the front of the train (good excuse for going first class London-bound), and that's it's a slam door so you can open the window rather than trying to film through glass and risking the autofocus screwing up.

Cool
What sort of camera do you need do do this?

I used a casio exilim FH20: that'll record 210fps at 480*360, creating a 30fps file which is 1/7th real time. The newer models do 240fps at similar resolution, and you could probably get away with converting that to 24fps for a 1/10th realtime. In the 'pricey, but still consumer' market there's the exilim F1 which captures 300fps at 512*384 (casio, if you're reading this, feel free to send me one!). All these models claim things like 1000fps recording, but it tends to be the size of a postage stamp.
For HD you're looking at ultra-expensive cameras for sports broadcasters, whilst truly insane frame rates tend to be found in industrial quality control / scientific cameras that aren't exactly designed for making youtube clips.
Basically: frame rate, resolution, cheap- pick any two.
