Private Notes
First transmitted in 1962, John Betjeman presents a documentary exploring the impact of the removal of steam locomotives from British railway services on the railway men who have maintained the system since the days of the Great Western Railway. The introduction of diesel engines meant a real departure from usual operational practices for the railway men who had dedicated their entire working lives to operating the iconic steam locomotive.
Originally produced for the BBC Model Railway Society, a short film marking the demise of the Glasgow trams after ninety years of service - the last trams to run outside of Blackpool to run in any British town or city until 1992.
