This was a BBC documentary filmed in 1969 around Sheffield. It looks at railway staff at the time. Two services are the centre of the film, a Sheffield Victoria to Manchester Piccadilly train and a Poole to York service using a Class 47. The Sheffield - Manchester train is of course 76 hauled with plenty of in cab shots and outside views as well. Its available on BBC IPlayer, if searching for it on your TV look for the Tuesday Documentary.

An excellent film, I've been watching BTF films on YouTube lately there is an fantastic film called freight and a city which is about Sheffield and has a very brief sound clip of a class 30

Strangely no woodhead footage. 

His channel is worth checking out too I was watching another great film about the north eastern region last night
