the titfield thunderbolt (1953)


"They can't close our line, it's unthinkable."
A small English village has their rail service stopped, as British Rail abandon it. So some of the locals decide to take it over and run it themselves, but not everyone is happy about it, especially the local bus company.
Light-hearted comedy, that would be churlish not to enjoy. An insight into an England that has long vanished, if it ever existed in the first place.
