Two bits of news…
The first is that the BBCTV Christmas drama will be a re-make of Alfred Hitchcock’s The Lady Vanishes. I’ve already posted about the original film and about the potential of trains in relation to thrillers in literature and cinema. So, it will be interesting to see how they do it…
It’s about time I had a different Christmas railway film to The Railway Children!
Virgin have lost the franchise for the west-coast mainline to Glasgow…it looks like First Group are overpaying…. it will all end in tears.
Virgin deserve credit for introducing tilting trains to Britain.
