Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe mock newspaper just before the end has a line stating that Ringo is upset at St Trinians being honoured. This is a reference to many establishment figures voicing complaints at The Beatles being recently honoured with MBEs.
- GoofsTowards the end, the three trains are travelling backwards and forwards on the up and down lines, two of these are steam trains and the passenger train is electric. However there is no third rail to provide electricity for the passenger train.
Correction! The "electric train" is actually Diesel Electric, which means it carries an engine to generate electricity to drive it. Therefore it does not require a third rail.
- Quotes
Alphonse of Monte Carlo: [about his two daughters education] The poor lambs were only receiving the three R's, so to speak.
Amber Spottiswood: Well it's always nice to have your R's to fall back on I always say.

Featured review
Dora Bryan and her unruly girls go for honours!
A lesser St Trinian's film, this does benefit from scatty Dora Bryan as the headmistress; Raymond Huntley as her MP beau; Richard Wattis and co as men from the ministry; and Frankie Howerd, Reg Varney, Arthur Mullard and others as train robbers.
If you have seen the other films, you know the formula. The St Trinian's schoolgirls are little terrors who frighten the life out of authority and everyone else. The teachers are boozers, smokers, fighters, and gamblers. Put these together and the plot will sizzle.
Not as good as the others, and drags a bit towards the end, but it is a fun film which diverts for at least an hour.
