Fantastic! I remember running to St ALbans City Station in the early 60s at 6:30pm to watch one pass by each evening. The colour scheme stood out against the drab greens and reds
It would be good to see the missing bits of the route that obviously ended up on the cutting room floor to make the film fit 5 minutes. A sad fact is that the driver was later killed in the accident at Knowle & Dorridge involving D1040 "Western Queen" and the loco-hauled set of Pullman coaches.

@aarvark11 If you search 'Let's go to Birmingham' now you'll find the missing bits!!

I love the white frock the driver was wearing! A sort of a cross between a scientist, an ice cream salesman and a 1920s charabanc driver.
Shame they got signal checked just outside BMG...bummer!
Blue Pulman HSTs ruled!

You would think you are in the driver's cab driving the train.
