  • The service was inaugurated in May 1935. It ran between King's Cross in London, and Leeds.

    The carriage was called the "LNER Pathe Cinema Car".

    "Mr J H Thomas" was a trade union leader and later a Labour politician.

British Pathe captured many extraordinary events on film over its 80 year history but sometimes the cameras were switched on when tragedy struck.
