Dir: Ken Annakin
Starring: John Gregson and Diana Dors

A Yorkshire businessman falls for a London showgirl whilst ignoring the love of his true girlfriend

This Technicolor comedy romance was largely filmed in Batley, West Yorkshire, and features a darkened shot of a local passenger train on an embankment hauled by an ex-LMS 2-6-4T, followed by an arrival of a similar train at Batley station, masquerading for the purposes of the film as ‘Barfield’. There is then a final shot of the station frontage.

A passenger train crosses an embankment in the hands of an ex-LMS 2-6-4T. Given the film’s location this is presumably Batley.
A similar service approaches platform 1 of Batley station, but the distant train does not get any nearer
