dsl ◊ 2017-07-17 00:54	British Rail tries to get to grips with this new-fangled concept of conservation, but doesn't really understand what it's all about. Starts off OK with stuff about plants and things in disused railways, but loses the plot fairly quickly as it becomes a tour of ugly 1970s concrete railway architecture. 17 minute film taken from BFi/British Transport Films Volume 7: The Age of the Train 2-DVD set. Can be seen here. Rejects: - various bits around St Pancras - the Roundhouse in London, formerly an engine works, became music/arts venue (2 segments in film) - Cortina Mk2 estate and MGB; Cortina Mk1 - car park with Porsche 911 nose - British Rail Bedford HA (so a second source for sold-off knackered yellow HAs alongside PO Telephones); Humber estate
