Summary
Pathe synopsis: In an age of speed, with shattered sound barriers lying about all over the place, it is pleasant to slow down sometimes and revert to more leisurely times. At least one man has done this by refurbishing Victorian carriages and running a regular service along the beautiful Thames Valley. Mr George Matthey, of Goring-on-Thames, takes us on a gentle, horse-drawn, conducted tour of famous beauty spots.
