London's Railways 1920s - 1970s

PLEASE NOTE: This title has been re-released as 'The Golden Age of Railways' (TRNC05)

In the 1900s, London's transport system relied on steam. Within sixty years, most of these locomotives had vanished as the capital switched to electric and diesel power. Journey back to a time when London played host to the Silver Jubilee and the Devon Belle, and when the Coronation Scot was the latest in steam power. Highlights include a demonstration of a railcar in 1935; the underground GPO mail train and the trial of BR's Roadrailer in 1960.
