Filming of the railway scenes took place over more than 30 days in late [[Severn Valley Railway Timeline 1970-1979#1975 | 1975]] and saw considerable involvement from the SVR. ¾ of a mile of the old [[Stourport Branch]] was relaid for filming to take place, and stations were also extensively modified. Filming took place at almost every locality on the SVR apart from [[Bridgnorth]].<ref name = "SVR37">SVR News 37</ref>
