John Schlesinger's award-winning short shows a busy day at London's Waterloo Station, where countless lives interact fleetingly: a little boy separated from his Mum (seen here); a young woman forlorn among myriad joyful reunions, waiting for a beau who never arrives.
Opting to let the sights and sounds of the bustling station speak for themselves, Schlesinger dispenses with a traditional narrator, roaming this London landmark to capture the everyday magic of rail travel at a time when its decline was imminent. (Simon McCallum)
