Snowploughs are readied to rescue a snowbound train - in one of the most popular of all British Transport Films.
A random selection of housewives around the UK take a day off from their traditional domestic chores.
Originally intended as an advertising short, this film follows The Elizabethan, a non-stop British Railways service from London to Edinburgh along the East Coast Main Line. A nostalgic record of the halcyon years of steam on British Railways and the ex-LNER Class A4.
