British Rail's crack Yorkshire Pullman carries business people to London from Leeds in two hours precisely. A first-class service is demanded by first-class passengers from a staff many of whom date back to the great steam age, with all those old-fashioned notions of dedication to service and loyalty. In foul and fair weather we see how the stoic railwaymen struggle to maintain the service. Battered by the 'great British winter' of 1991 both railwaymen and the great British public suffer together from the short-sightedness and poor planning of someone up there.
