Fully Fitted Freight

Illustrating the efficiency of express freight trains, and how they link manufacturers with their customers at the other end of Britain.

This film shows how an express freight train links manufacturers with their customers at the other end of Britain. The fast-moving fully-fitted freight train, the 4.48pm Bristol to Leeds provides a typical example of merchandise being transported at high speed by British Railways. We learn something, too, about the men who do the work as well as the goods they handle.
