Discovering Railways 1977

This vintage railway film was produced by British Transport Films in 1977. With Peter Purves, of television 'Blue Peter' fame as our guide, we are taken on a rapid but very full tour of railway activities. Starting off in the comfort of the High Speed Train, we then move on through electrification, track relaying, rush hour at Waterloo, freight trains and Sealink, and enjoy a glimpse of railway history. A fascinating introduction to the subject of trains.
