British Rail UK TV Advert, 1976


Every now and then you find a video that really makes you want to laugh (or cry). During a spare five minutes, I found the above advert for British Rail's Away Day Return tickets (something I used to use a lot when I was younger).

Even in the 70's, it was noted that taking a train to Central London was still quicker, and cheaper, by train. Even today, once you take into account the rising cost of petrol and the congestion charge, it is still much better to take the train.

So enjoy this one, showing Hattie Jacques racing Jackie Stewart to Central London (Jackie obviously driving) from 1976.
