Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Travel Turmoil. DESCRIPTION: It was Black Monday all right for those Londoners, who generally travel by Underground, and there were big queues at railway stations where work-to-rule was in operation. For some, of-course, it was a case of walking to work, and the story at rush-hour time was a real travel-clog. Over to Australia, where a daring driver, trying out a new Aussie built car, went through a tough routine. It’s not really intended as a suggestion for forcing a way through rush-hour traffic!
