www.britishpathe.com/workspaces/clive221254/Brill-TramwayIt sems odd to me that there are so few (if any) other films of the Brill branch available, as even in the thirties it was regarded as something of a curiosity. If any more are around and available, I would love to see them. Menawhile, the link above is to the only one I know of.

I notice that the news reports still got it wrong 76 years ago! The first shot was at Brill not Quainton Road.

Any views on what the grounded vehicle shown at the beginning might be? A first thought was a grounded horsetram body, but the windows seem wrong for that. On the other hand, there were very few British vehicles with that style of verandah ends.

The vehicle in question is the original passenger coach that was grounded at Brill after the Metropolitan took over the line.
