REVIEWS

Review by Jacko (posted on 3-Sep-2005)

This is a really excellent film for lovers of the steam train era in Britain. Of course many of the locations no longer show any trace of the once vast British rail network. A good opportunity to wallow in the lost splendour of a once great England, especially if you are over 60 years of age.
