This collection comprises 12 travelogues which were produced to encourage the British public to make more use of the railways. Of all the BTF compilations I've seen, this is my favourite. Both poignant and occasionally funny, these films provide a wonderful look at Britain half a century ago.


Disc one:

1 - West Country Journey (1953)

2 - Letter for Wales (1960)

3 - Cyclists Special (1955)

4 - Holiday (1957)

5 - The Heart is Highland (1952)

6 - Any Man's Kingdom (1956)


Disc two:

1 - Glasgow Belongs to Me (1966)

2 - The England of Elizabeth (1957)

3 - Capital Visit (1955)

4 - The Heart of England (1954)

5 - East Anglian Holiday (1954)

6 - The Coasts of Clyde (1959)


Running time of the 2 discs is approximately 4 hours.
