Work in Progress (1951)

1951 - British Transport Film
Directed by: Michael Clarke
The film starts on the Woodhead Route where a century-old tunnel is replaced by a new one. Farther north, Argyllshire is the scene of an experiment in co-ordinated road haulage service. At March Whitemoor Yard in Cambridgeshire, marshalling of goods wagons is being speeded by radio. In Bristol bus operators are analysing the problems of congestion that apply to most modern cities. The famous Golden Arrow runs between London and Dover

14:13 Wagons can’t answer you back? The narrator should ask Thomas about his Troublesome Trucks!

Half an hour well spent.

That footage of Whitemoor at around 10mins, through to 14 mins, is quite something. The brakesmen showing some real skill - not least in not ending up injured or worse :-0
