THE GRASS IS GREENER

GB
1960
1hr 44mins
Dir: Stanley Donen
Starring: Cary Grant and Jean Simmons

The wife of an English earl falls for a confident American millionaire

This brilliant but rather neglected comedy features excellent colour scenes filmed at Baynards station on the Guildford-Horsham line, with Deborah Kerr departing for London on a train hauled by ex-SR M7 Class 0-4-4T No.30132. The station masquerades as ‘Lynley’.

This is M7 0-4-4T No.30132 arriving at Baynard’s station in Surrey
Cary Grant says goodbye to Deborah Kerr at Lynley, really Baynards of course.
And Cary Grant walks from the station as the train moves off into the distance (all shots courtesy of reelstreets)
