London to Brighton in 4 minutes



Saw this on BBC 4 last night as part of an advert for a program that Ian Hislop is doing about the closure of Britain's train stations.
Really nice footage of the journey between London and Brighton in the 1950s.
Having made this journey recently its really interesting to see how the land surrounding the tracks has changed in 60 years since the railways heyday.
I'm trying to think up a joke about the cost of rail travel now or how the privatisation of the rail network in the 80s changed things but I don't think I need to really.
Nice one Maggie.
