Summary

Pathe synopsis: There’s a new museum in London where every conceivable mode of transport is on display. But in sharp contrast to the horse-buses and old trains - including Stephenson’s Rocket - are the various railway modernisation schemes now speeding the trains all over England. Eye-catching or small enough to pass travellers unnoticed, their efficiency is fascinating.
