As touched upon in previous Saturday Movie Nights, British Railways had a number of sea-going interests, the most obvious being the regular cross-channel ferries they ran between Britain and the Continent. This film looks at a typical day's operations, with emphasis on three services: the Dover-Boulonge service carrying motorists and their vehicles; the Dover-Dunkirk night ferry, carrying the London-Paris sleeper train over this part of the route; and the Zeebrugge-Harwich ferry, carrying wagons from all over Europe to the markets of London.
