Question has been asked before on here...
For one reason or another, it seems not to be available on YouTube for persons in the U.K. and/or is possibly taken down, if it previously has been.
P.S. A 14 minute version should be available on DVD later in the year.

Round Trip to Glasgow
Does anyone know where I can get hold of a copy of this BTF film featuring Peter Purves from 1982? For a while it was available on You Tube, but apparently the BBC has objected to it and it has been taken down (not sure why its any of their business but still). I think I have all the BFI DVD...

Good to see another BTF compilation out. I remember seeing Who’s In Charge when I joined the railway,never seen it since. Channel Tunnel (Tomorrows Way) is reputed to be the last film made by BTF.Question has been asked before on here...

Wonder whether the forthcoming DVD release has anything to do with the footage disappearing off YouTube?

Most films end up back on YouTube after a while.

Think 14 mins is the full length. Happy to be corrected.

You are correct. The BTF website also lists it as 14 mins.

I've been trying to recall the name of a film I saw on YouTube about the APT a few years ago but is now not in my history, and can clearly remember a snippet of commentary that was "for the first time all week, the APT performs perfectly"... accompanying a soaring shot from the air and optimistic orchestral (or maybe electronic orchestral) music.
Could this be the film that was from?

I’ve not seen the film, but I was part of the Glasgow-based crew who shot sequences of the first public run from Glasgow Central to London. We were doing this for the BBC Scotland evening news programme ’Reporting Scotland’. AIUI, this footage was provided by the BBC to BTF as they hadn’t sent a crew that far north. As such, it remained their copyright and any YT copies blocked. I must try to get the DVD!

Many thanks to you both.

Yes, very good to see this lovely APT film will be on a new (and it says final which is a shame as there is much unreleased BTF material) BFI Transport Films compilation.
I was pretty sure I had a copy, but suspect - without checking - that this was on one of the BFI BTF vhs video compilations that preceded the DVD series, but are not exact duplicates.
This site is always helpful
see the 'Films' link on the left hand side for the A-Z listing of BTF output - which shows Round Trip to Glasgow was made available on video - listings do not show who by however.
