Birmingham to London in 4 minutes

[Tony]

For those youngesters who have never seen it, there is a 1962 film called 'Lets go to Birmingham' which shows a driver eye view of a blue pullman train running from London Paddington to Birmingham Snow Hill shot at two frames per second to give a high speed run taking just 5 minutes. It is on You tube here
