The Navigators

In South Yorkshire, a close-knit team of railway maintenance men discovers that privatisation will alter their lives forever. When the steadfast British Rail sign is replaced by a marker reading East Midland Infrastructure, it becomes clear that a new order is taking hold, with the inevitable winners and losers as downsizing and efficiency become the prevailing buzzwords.

Reviews

Andres Gomez

7/10

Movie in the good social tradition of Ken Loach which brings us to the dismantling of the public UK railway system through the decline in the living standard of the workers for the enriching of the owners of the new private companies in the name of the nonsensical liberal capitalism.
