A collection of clips dealing with Transport from the Look At Life series.

Included:

* Topics dealing with the Rails, from the change from Steam to Diesel, to future ideas for new trains that didn’t quite make it, and the budding preservation movement that helped keep old stock running for future generations.

* How the road network got expanded, but left many towns in the dust. And the efforts to purge cars from city streets, including elaborate parking schemes, pedestrian only roads, and the explosion of Scooter use.

* Researching ways to improve car safety, from improved safety devices to specialized driving training from newbie drivers to Police Officers and London Double Decker Bus Drivers.

* The growth of Air Travel. Commuting by Air was growing, and airports expanding to accommodate the influx of travelers.

“remember the other driver my not be sober, or even sane”.

Never a truer word said.
