The Pain Train
Director
An insufferable journey by 'The Pain Train' shows how seconds lost by staff, for one slight reason or another, can quickly add up; causing a train to be seriously late even on a relatively short journey.
Forward to First Principles
Commentator (voice)
There have been railways in this country for over three hundred years. In the nineteenth century, railways spread across Britain and changed the geography, history, economy, and the life of a nation, but already there existed primitive railways for moving coal and other minerals from the pits and quarries to navigable water and roads. This film scans the present and the past to show those economic principles governing the early railways have been rediscovered as a basis for modern freight trains.
