20 minute film taken from

British Transport Films Volume One: On and Off the Rails 2-DVD set. Can be seen here.

Superbly produced account (although irritating commentary in rhyming couplets) of the Elizabethan non-stop service

from London to Edinburgh - 6½ hours (compared to now average journey time is 4 hours 41 minutes, fastest journey time is 4 hours 17 minutes).

Pulled by the Silver Fox (footage reused in A New Age for Railways)
