• Ticket To Ride - The Railways Of Germany, The Niederrhein | DVD | (06/12/2004) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £29.99

  Our journey starts at Aachen - while within the Netherlands we view the freight line in from Belgium! Then it's on to Dren for a look at the work in progress on the NBS to Cologne. Around Dren we have time to have a look at the brown coal trains of Rheinbraun on their 300km network. Krefeld has a superb tram system and we ride the fast tram to Dsseldorf. Dsseldorf is the business city of the Niederrhein. It's busy with rail activity 24/7! It also has an interesting surface tramway and at Neuss on the opposite side of the Rhine a port. Heading south we visit Cologne and look at the splendid Hbf and the two bridges that 'control' rail traffic transiting this magnificent city take a ride on the tramway to Bonn to see the Sdbrcke. We visit Deutz and then look at the implications of the new NBS. We head south following the NBS and see a new ICE3 unit on a test run. The two classic routes are not forgotten; we spend time around Bonn see the HGK at work and see how the OAO shares track with the metro. This is Bayer country and we have a chance to view this major of the chemical industry at work at some their plants. There's lots of freight down both banks of the Rhine and we can sit back and enjoy the spectacle from the heights of the Drachenfels and at Koblenz from the castle that overlooks the confluence of the Rhine and Mosel. Luck was on our side as south of Koblenz the ICE/EC/IC services to Frankfurt were being diverted down the right (freight) bank. This gives us the opportunity to watch a stream of trains of all types transiting Rdesheim! Back north we are the guests of P&O who have a new home at Logport the 250 hectare site of a former steel works that is being transformed into a major 'tri-modal' logistics hub. We get to grips with 21st Century transport and watch P&O unloading Nordwaggons of toilet tissue from Italy!. Filmed from : lineside boat train and air.

• Ticket To Ride - The Railways Of Belgium - The North | DVD | (29/11/2004) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £20.99

  Explore the railways of northern Belgium from the De Panne tramway (De Lijn) at Ostend to high speed rail at Antwerp and Brussels. The traditional routes have been joined by a new high speed line that links the capital Brussels with Paris London and Cologne. Amsterdam will soon be brought into this net. We see the various TGV derivatives which work this prestige service and plenty of other NMBS passenger trains as well: AM96's Class 11's 12's 13's. The venerable Cockerill Co Co's of class 51 are not forgotten see them on the road and at B-Cargo's state of the art depot at Antwerp Nord. Freight is everywhere! We follow the main route to Gent and then up to Antwerp and on to Roosendaal with a Benelux set. Back to Antwerp where we take a trip to the docks hauling a pair of wagons loaded with German built combine harvesters bound for South America. Haulage courtesy of one of B-Cargo's new class 77 trip locomotives. On the quay we see paper from Austria being unloaded from OBB sliding wall vans in a rather novel way! Next we visit General Motors massive OPEL works. GM kindly let us film inside their factory and we also get a close up of Astra cars being loaded for export to Switzerland. The AM96 EMU's and their 'sister' i11 hauled stock have brought new standards to passenger accommodation in Belgium; have a look at them in action - inside and out! You can't visit northern Belgium and miss Bruges! We have a look at the sights and see what Bombardier are about to out shop from their local works! The film is fully narrated by Phyllis Watts and is illustrated with graphics throughout.

  The name TALGO conjures images of the exotic. The holiday where the journey is nearly as important as the destination. The dash through France and then into Spain which seems even more foreign. At least today there is no pile out of one train and into another at the border. But at least it's a border that still seems to matter! See how the magic is done with us and then enjoy the journey to Figueres and Girona. This is a great run to make with the driver! It gets better the further south you go. Part two takes you to through the heart of Barcelona perhaps Spain's liveliest city and part three along the sandy beaches of the Costa Daurada. It's an international route and we pass other TALGOs and RENFE going about its daily work of moving passengers and freight.

• Murder | DVD | (24/07/1999) from £14.53   |  Saving you £-10.23 (N/A%)   |  RRP £4.30

  This 1930 drama was an early field day for Alfred Hitchcock and his evolving ideas about the blurring of opposites: reality and illusion, guilt and innocence, observing and doing, men and women. A rare whodunit in the director's canon, the story of Murder finds a stage actress (Norah Baring) convicted of murdering a female friend. Herbert Marshall stars as a veteran theatre actor and, coincidentally, member of the jury who has grave doubts about the verdict and decides to investigate the crime on his own. His efforts lead him through a world with which he is sufficiently familiar--that of backstage intrigues--and toward what some critics have charged is an unfortunate link between villainy and a gay stereotype. But that limited critique completely misses the playful overlapping of faulty perceptions invited by this movie, in which Hitchcock deliberately confuses us at times about whether the action we're seeing is real or occurring on a stage. Even when the distinction is obvious, thematic echoes bounce wildly between the two, such as an early scene in which policemen observing a play don't realise the solution to the real murder is weirdly foretold in what they're watching. --Tom Keogh
