The brand, Inter-City, is still in its infancy in 1969 but this colour commercial for cinemas offers the great escape solution with lots to see in the big city. Inter-City makes the going easy, and the coming back again!
Cinema advert for British Rail advertising the 'easy' aspect of travelling to
Britain, especially London using Intercity trains. Aimed at European,
especially French customers. Additional logo for 'The Great Fair of London' at
the beginning and end of advert.
Throughout the 20th century, screen advertising helped transform the car from luxury conveyance for the wealthy to essential commodity, 'hand-built by robots'. It saw out the last days of steam, and made 'the age of the train'. And it presented travel - at home or abroad - as a route to a better life.
