If this video was ... ( 7 months ago by TheAmazingDannyKing)
If this video was supposed to envoke pride in our railways in order to get people to invest into privatisng them then it's ironic, because the only thing this video makes me proud of is British Rail. And it's not here anymore.
Long live British Rail. It wasn't perfect but it was something under-rated that Britain could be proud of regardless.

Thanks for this - great advert.
Nothing to do with persuading people to invest in privatisation, more, I think, an "up yours" to the people who trashed our railways in the press and elsewhere. We had a good railway - and, to be fair, we still do, but no thanks to privatisation.

Given the railways are now carrying more passengers than any time since 1946 (when the network was much bigger), they will be around for a long time to come.
As for poor old British Rail......

Hear hear!
There was an article in the Railway Magazine recently about reopening schemes up and down the country and looking at some of them it's a wonder they closed in the first place! They said that there obviously isn't a closed line in the country that 'someone somewhere' doesn't want to see open, so i

But it was reported recently that they would be closing by the end of the year. What do you think will be the consequences of this? More public spending?

This wasn't about ... ( 3 weeks ago by shoptothecaf)
This wasn't about how good British Rail was, it was basically a tory propaganda film setting up the ground work prior to privatisation. A bit of corporate spin to get the city types on board. Nobody would want to buy a mouldy old rotten state owned asset unless it was presented in a glossy and sexy manner. No they'd buy it because it was all flogged off on the cheap.

"Britain's Railway" Now for sale to all comers! Does anyone know the name of the earlier film of this, not Night Mail from 1936, but some film from maybe the 50s which had some animation, pioneering techniques. Anyone??
