Following the nationalisation of transport in 1948 the British Transport Commission set up its own in-house film production unit. Launched on 1 May 1949 and led for 25 years by Edgar Anstey - a founding father of the British documentary movement - it became one of the largest industrial film units in Britain. The third volume in this series of 6-disc box sets contains such classics as The Finishing Line Inter-City 125 Just Like the Rest of Us as well as rare gems like Centenary Express and Give Your Car a Holiday. This digitally remastered collection is a must... for the transport enthusiast and the documentary aficionado alike. It includes a fully illustrated booklet with extensive film notes by BFI curators and full credits. [show more]
