Following the nationalisation of transport in 1948, the British Transport Commission set up its own in-house film production unit. Launched on 1st May, 1949, and led for 25 years by Edgar Anstey - a founding father of the British documentary movement - it became one of the largest industrial film units in Britain.

This, the sixth in a series of double DVD box sets, includes such travel classics as The Land of Robert Burns, Yorkshire Sands and Journey into History as well as rare gems such as A Desperate Case and The Travolators.

All these films are now preserved in the BFI National Archive. This selection has been digitally remastered for this two-disc set, which is a 'must' not just for the transport enthusiast, but also for the documentary aficionado who will recognise traits and innovations in British non-fiction filmmaking.

Disc One - North to the Dales (1962); Yorkshire Sands (1955); Down to Sussex (1964); The Land of Robert Burns (1956); Journey into History (1952); Midland Country (1974); The Travolators (1961)

Disc Two - Journey to the Sea (1952); London for a Day (1962); The Beacons and Beyond (1979); A Desperate Case (1958); Lancashire Coast (1957); Golfers in a Scottish Landscape (1971)
