An optimistic recruiting film encouraging school leavers to consider a career with British Railways. Unfortunately many who joined faced an uncertain future four years later when Dr Beeching announced job cuts..

Very good upload, if rather painfully nostalgic with those shots of Sheffield Victoria and the 1500 V DC line between Manchester & Sheffield (and many others)! I believe one of the hump yards (Feltham) is now a nature reserve, but BAA has its eyes on it as a site for a depot for a proposed hi speed rail airport link.
