Quote:
Made by major Hollywood director John Schlesinger for British Transport in 1961, Terminus is widely regarded as one of the very best railway films of all time.
A celebration of London’s Waterloo station in all its glory on a busy day, the film boasts a truly exceptional jazz soundtrack from Ron Grainer music, and songs from Julian Cooper. It uniquely captures the essence of a British station at the beginning of the 1960s, with the camera taking you behind the scenes as well as on the platforms and concourse.Presenting a single day in the life of Waterloo station Terminus is a revealing exploration of how, in 1961, practically everybody used the railway. From children to adults, through marriage, work, crime & punishment, to old age and death, in its vignettes Terminus is successfully able to capture the moment and emotions of them all.

However, the Film was actually shot over three weeks, and one of the Film’s most memorable sequences – the lost boy in search of his mother – was in fact pre-arranged. Where the Mother (a relative of the Director) was persuaded to lose her son for ten minutes without the child’s knowledge!
