Romantic complications develop in a cycling club

One of the characters of this romantic comedy lives in a flat that overlooks a railway. The scenes out of the window are in fact superimposed projection, and there is one train, though only half of it appears as a partly obscured moving image. An ex-LMS Class 5MT ‘Black Five’ 4-6-0 chugs slowly past on a passenger train and although the film is set in Yorkshire, the location in the image is almost certainly London St Pancras. Nothing of the station is visible, but it is readily identified by the famous gasometer!

One of the oddest railway shots of all. An obscured image of a steam-hauled train moves past the window from right to left. Although the loco appears to be a ‘Black Five’ there is little evidence to suggest where it is, though the gasometer makes one believe it is St Pancras.
