How to unlock the A Silver Lining achievement in GoldenEye 007 - Definitive Guide
This achievement requires completing the Train level on 00 Agent difficulty in less than 5:25.
Timing is fairly lenient but this level is one of the more difficult levels to complete. Here's my video guide with commentary:

Dunno why you guys are arguing that. I'm def a newbie for Goldeneye and I got this achievement within 5:05. No strafe running involved.
I knew this method and complete a few achievements with that, but for this level, imo, as long as you are familiar with the enemies' spawn point, you can just shot all the way through. There's plenty of time.
I know there's probably a more efficient method, but for god sake, it's not about speedrunning. As long as I can get the achievement unlocked, I'm fine with a couple of more minutes spent.
Besides, as a newcomer, strafe w/ d-pad is not that easy to get along with, especially when shooting is involved and/or the map contains narrow pathways.
Just my personal experience. For levels with open area like Statue Park or Streets, there's room for movement and I don't even need to pull the trigger. For Archives the time limit is too tight which makes strafe running a must.
But for this level, strafing all the way through could cause you to take a lot of damage, and it's more difficult for me to aim with this control method.
btw, thanks vSully for those video guides, your video is insanely helpful to me.

I'm still failing on Boris' password or I'm running out of time, any idea?

This level is already hard enough in 00 Agent mode. My advice is to beat this in 00 Agent mode first and learn when enemies spawn behind you. Once you have a good idea what triggers an enemy to spawn behind, you can use that knowledge to speed through the level.
Good luck!
Quick tip at the end. Use the double gun to make sure you kill the Xenia at the back. If you dont kill her, there will not be enough time for Natalia to escape.
Good luck!
To unlock this achievement you have to beat Train in 5:25 or less on 00 Agent.
I highly recommend switching your movement to the D-Pad, you cannot strafe properly with the left stick!
There are a few tricks here that can help you get the achievement. At the start, switch to your laser watch right away and strafe run through the two crates & guard on the right, destroy the brake and go to the next car. Close the door behind y ou and switch to your D5K that you should've picked from the guard and you can take your time dealing with the guards here.
After that, when you get to the blue cars, simply run with your D5K or watch laser, there will be a few left behind, but it should be fine - some extra boosts as long as you're not too low on health.
The real time saver is at the end, when you get in the room with Natalya and Ourumov, don't kill him right away - laser the floor, and once it's open kill Ourumov and quickly get out of the train. If you take too long, Natalya will follow you outside early. Once she's done hacking the location and password, quickly run towards the end. Usually this will happen when the timer is at 6 to 8 seconds. Follow the video below to know exactly where to stay.

This is one of the tougher speedruns, because you're on 00 Agent and because there are a lot of enemies you need to kill. It's really easy to lose too much health along the way if you aren't careful. So, you need to be careful but fast at the same time. Thankfully, the video below shows a really good method for getting through each train car pretty painlessly. You might need to improvise a bit though, as sometimes enemies, especially the elite ones in black at the end, are in slightly different places. However, once you kill one, switch to double ZMGs to take out all the rest pretty easily.
At the end of the train, supposedly you can have more time available if you shoot Xenia in addition to Ourumov, but I never got it to work. You'll complete your final objective with around 5 seconds left on the timer. To be safe, I left the train and immediately turned left, toward the three enemies by the crates. This is risky, especially if you're very low on health, but it's the best way to ensure Natalya gets out of the train before it explodes. I then quickly shot the three enemies there and immediately ran back the other way to finish the mission. Even with going to the enemies, shooting them, then turning and running the other way, I think finished with around 10 seconds to spare. This is another case where you'll likely need some practice at clearing the train cars quickly but safely. Watch the video and you should be able to replicate it in a few attempts such that you aren't taking tons of damage early on.
