1963: TRIBUTE to CLOSED RAILWAY STATIONS | Tonight | Retro Transport | BBC Archive

"Today these stations are small and remote and unprofitable, but 100 years ago, they were the threads that bound a nation together."

In the wake of the publication of the Beeching report, Tonight's Derek Hart narrates a short, poetic tribute to some of the 2,000 railway stations that have been earmarked for closure.

Introduced by Cliff Michelmore.
