Journey Inter-City (1972)

Genre : Documentary

Runtime : 10M

Director : Ted Eggs

Synopsis

A cheerful and very colourful pastiche of live action with combined graphics set to the music of Muir Mathieson. This film typifies the image British Rail was keen to transmit during the early part of the 1970s. It marked the start of the age of the train, when 100mph running became standard and travelling inter-city took you from 'city to city - heart to heart'.
