I love the last comment in this film!

Any clues as to when this was shot?

I'd have a stab at something like '66/67?

The earliest it could have been was 1955 as that is when Pathe News became colour.

I would have thought it was earlier than 1966/67 though. Early 60s I would have said. I believe the modernisation programme started in 61 or 62, too much of the railway semed to be in use for it to have been 66 or 67. Although I am aware the last steam loco was not retired until November 1967.

I have now found an actual date for that footage! 2/7/1962. However, whether that is the filming date or the "showing at a cinema near you" date, I am not sure.
