Now that looks like actual snow, rather than the thin smear that brings the country to a halt these days.

But what's this 'British Rail' that the commentary text refers to on a 1963 film?

I had to pause it and go away, as is usual with YouTube and its ilk. But worth it, thanks.

Now tell me about the "wrong kind of snow" on the line...
