Following the nationalisation of public transport in 1948, the British Transport Commission set up its own in-house film production unit. Launched on 1 May 1949, British Transport Films was led for 25 years by Edgar Anstey – a founding father of the British documentary movement – and became one of the largest industrial film units in Britain. Over a period of more than 35 years, BTF produced an unrivalled documentary film legacy for generations of film and transport enthusiasts. The BFI’s previous DVD collections of BTF films are amongst the label’s all-time best sellers.

The fully illustrated booklet (available with the first pressing only) that accompanies the discs contains new writing on the films by BFI curators Steven Foxon, Patrick Russell and Jez Stewart and post-war transport historian and enthusiast Stephen Edwards.
