Rail Report 3
Many of today's railway problems were created during the years of competition between the various railway companies. At Sheffield, for instance, different lines converge, producing a complexity which only results in inefficiency. Problems like this are shown in the film, as well as the new flyover at Rugby, modern signalling on the Southern Region, and passenger amenities at Plymouth.
