Amazing social history. There is a strong relationship between moving people and data and BTFU did all of this. The guy who filmed the amazing Stainmore through the snow clip went on to film Michael Jackson's Thriller movie. So, whilst in the Uk we lost 800,000 public sector public transport employees (and did awful things like extend MAFF/Defra to give them jobs in the rural areas where they were based), luckily many of them actually got to exercise their talents.
Find more British Transport film unit footage - awesome.
