The Titfield Thunderbolt

The Titfield Thunderbolt (1953) is a comedy film directed by Charles Crichton rated 7.0/10.

When British Railways announce the closure of the Titfield to Mallingford branch line a group of local residents make a bid to run it themselves, backed by a monied member of the community who is attracted by the complete lack of licensing hours on trains. Unfortunately the local bus company starts to use methods that can hardly be seen as fair competition.
