BTF synopsis: London Transport’s railways carry about two million passengers every day. To run the stations and the trains, to operate the signals and issue the tickets, to do all the many jobs on which the railways depend, it is necessary to have efficient, highly trained staff. This film shows the instruction of London Transport’s railway staff at the Railway Training Centre at Lambeth. The final episode follows a man through his course until he passes out as a Tube motorman. - Keywords
