The Best of British Transport Films

Overview

A descendant of the British sponsored documentary tradition, British Transport Films was established in 1949 to focus a spotlight on transport as a Nationalised undertaking, to create an appetite for travel and to entice the public to use nationalised transport. Over a period of more than 35 years, BTF produced an unrivalled documentary film legacy for generations of film and transport enthusiasts. This new compilation gathers together 21 remastered films, including John Schlesinger’s Terminus (1961) and Geoffrey Jones’ legendary homage to progress, Rail (1967).
