Product Description

The superb GPO documentary Night Mail plus three classic Scottish films about the West Highland Railways never before released on DVD. The programme includes: Night Mail (1936) - The overnight Postal Special from Euston to Scotland. One of the first films to epitomise the style of the classic British documentaries. West Of Inverness (1939) - About the problems faced by a rural community and the growing importance of the railway from Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh to communities threatened by depopulation. The Line To Skye (1973) - Another Eddie McConnell film made to support the retention of the West Highland railway line from Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh at a time when it was threatened with closure. A Line For All Seasons (1980) - A retrospective account of the building of the West Highland Railway line from Glasgow Queen Street to Mallaig. Filmed by Eddie McConnell.

Night Mail + A Line For All Seasons 28 Mar 2012
By Red Les - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase
Must admit I thought Amazon were a Global company but having rec'd some vouchers from completing a questionnaire for a US based firm I found I could only use them on the US site !!
However, I would say that having placed the order in the US the DVD was shipped to me in the UK in an efficient manner & I rec'd it a week later in good condition i.e. the packaging had protected it during transit.
I've wanted a DVD of Night Mail for a long time & combining it with these evocative scenes of Scottish lines is good idea.
