"The fourteen films of 'Reshaping British Railways' take a look at significant events from 1951 to 1978, highlighting the case for change to a cleaner, more efficient motive power. The films look at the 'Indian summer' of steam traction, the Modernisation Plan of 1955 and its introduction of the diesel rail-car, the 'reshaping' or pruning of the network masterminded by Dr Richard Beeching, British Rail's progress into the 1960s with the Inter-City and Freightliner concepts, and the approach to the new age of the High Speed Train."
