Seen this before and love it. Sandwiches and beer, how civilised!

In fairness, you'd have to say that this is copyright material that almost certainly shouldn't be on YouTube, although there seem to be a number of copies there. It's even linked from the CTC site.

There have been a number of discussions of it over the years, including this which has some background, and information on buying the film on DVD.

I've finally tracked down a way of getting the related "Cyclists Abroad" film, but only as part of a rather large set.

I`ve got on a freebie dvd from some years ago,perhaps from the CTC.It`s called CYCLEHERO.

It's part of a set of 2 DVDs of various British Transport promotional films issued by the British Film Institute on BFIVD715.

There are 6 films on each DVD and are digitally remastered from the originals which are in the National Film and Televsion Archive.

Wish I still had my clockwork O-gauge Hornby railway set.
