    Magnificent short film showing Londoners commuting in 1940. For London Underground enthusiasts it includes rare footage of the experimental 1938 stock. A little gem of a film.

    Interesting to see how few people bothered taking their gas masks with them. Great little documentary.

    I can admit it remains widely unchanged to this day.

    When London Transport was a great thing. Can you imagine today's Transport For London doing all this during wartime conditions ? They'd be too bust arguing about who paid for what ! As for why they didn't stick with the iconic red or postwar silver livery for trains, I'll never know. Modern graffiti - proof twinpack paint'd surely sort that ! ?

    A slightly repetitive feature. This subject was revisited by the BTF unit producing a masterpiece. All That Mighty Heart

    Great stuff . It was hands on and old school in those days with British workers who knew what they were doing and not shirking about and having tea breaks all day long and not one schvartza in sight
