'The Truth about the Railways'

  
(Here it is - the latest and greatest of all 'reports' on the Railways - THE HANCOCK REPORT! Takes over where the Beeching report leaves off! Tells the public all!)
'So this feller Beeching says to me "Hancock, we've called you in because we want a really top-brain on this job". Seems his report on the Railways didn't exactly send people wild with joy, so he wants me to follow it up and tell 'em what to do. Well, I'm a busy man already. But he talked me round in the end. "The nation needs you Hancock", he says, "£100,000 a year and free luncheon vouchers." So here I am on this Diesel thing. Ninety miles an hour and no nonsense about seat-belts. The V.I.P. treatment! There must be a catch somewhere though. They can't fool me that all their trains are like this . . .'
But the real facts are:

Over 3,000 powerful new Diesels are now speeding-up main-line services throughout the country.
At least 500 expresses every day have a start-to-stop average of 60 mph or more.
Rail gets you there quickly and comfortably, right from city-centre to city-centre.
