From YouTube:
The first documentary produced by the BBC Film Unit in Northern Ireland looks at the problems the railways are facing in NI. Can anything be done to arrest the decline of the permanent way in the face of rising competition from road traffic? Indeed, should anything be done?
Something was done: they were largely closed down, particularly in Nationalist areas.
And when the passengers get off the train, they get on to trolleybuses - without the pollution of petrol or diesel-engined buses and with more flexibility than trams. I've never understood why we got rid of them in cities.
