Compiled from rare colour footage from the British Transport Films archive, this film covers major rail landmarks from Waterloo to the building of the Victoria Line. In the 1960s, the railway network was radically changed as British Railways carried out its modernisation programme. The British Transport Films unit and the TV news captured this changing scene, but much of the footage was never released. Now, for the first time, the unseen BTF archive has been compiled to tell the story of the railways in fabulous colour. Looking at the networks in the capital city, these include: Southern steam at Waterloo (with Nine Elms depot), all the major London stations, The Blue Pullman and early diesels, The Golden Arrow and Night Ferry service, goods and mail, steam on the Metropolitan Railway and building the Victoria Line. What better way to revel in the golden years of the railways than with this collection of four fascinating films, each focusing on a different facet using archive and recently filmed footage to present a panoply of locomotive wonder – from the elegant Scottish Express and the Coronation Scot to the GPO’s underground post train, the Golden Arrow and Night Ferry service and even the building of the Victoria Line! Running Time: 55 minutes Region: Region 2 Release Date: 14/05/2012
