It's a day in the life of Waterloo Station, the London train terminus, as seen through the eyes of the camera, with a jazz score.
It was directed by John Schlesinger just before he began his period as one of film's top directors. His period doing documentaries for the BBC was at an end, and so British Transport figured it was a good idea to hire him for another of their series of documentaries about train stations. Good call: it win a raft of awards, and meant he was ready to direct features. Also to begin a series of films with Julie Christie. It hurt neither of their careers.
