Cinematographer Billy Williams and other ex-BTF film crew members tell the fascinating story of Edgar Anstey's British Transport Films unit.
British Transport Films was set up in 1949 to make documentary films on the general subject of British transport. Its work included internal training films and travelogues (extolling the virtues of places that could be visited via the British transport system – mostly by rail) promoting the progress of Britain's rail network.
BTF was headed by Edgar Anstey until 1974 and made films mostly for the British Transport Commission, but after 1963 the majority of its films were made for the British Railways Board. The unit also made films for London Transport (Tube, bus and tram services), the British Waterways Board, the travel company Thomas Cook & Son and the coach company Thomas Tilling. [Wikipedia]
From an old VHS recording, so apologies for the quality.
