News Pageant of Movietone - Reported by Leslie Mitchell
Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Railway Story. SHOTLIST: Outside England’s railway stations are large posters bearing the words "Fair Play for the Railways". The main reason for the unrest is the fact that road transport has been taking the bulk of good carried and is not restricted as to the prices that are charged. The Coronation Scot draws into Euston and Lord Stamp puts the railways’ point of view in a short interview.
