I have just spent an hour trawling through the remainder of my railway books and come across the original article and photograph.
The photograph depicts a special train (one of three) on the 18 March 1967 entering Top Bank station Burnley.
The train hauled by Class 5 No. 44809 was special No. 1T80 and had left Liverpool at 11.10 AM. carnying football fans to watch the Match at Burnley.

It appears that the original poster on the Transport Worldwide Forum had got his facts wrong about the date and football team.
