The Titfield Thunderbolt (1953)

Quotes

The Titfield Thunderbolt

Edit
  • Sam Weech: They can't close our line, it's unthinkable
  • Gordon: What about the old Canterbury-Whitstable line? They closed that.
  • Sam Weech: Perhaps there were not men of sufficient faith in Canterbury.
  • Valentine: [proposing a toast] Our magnificent generals, General Gordon and General Booth.
  • Mrs Valentine: Do you know what time it is?
  • Valentine: Yes, my love: summer double time.
  • Sam Weech: We want the Titfield Thunderbolt.
  • George Blakeworth: Out of the museum?
  • Sam Weech: Yes, yes, she'll run. She's as good as she ever was. I'll stake my living on it!
  • Emily: Excuse me Sir but we are running at a profit.
  • Sam Weech: This is DREADFUL. The next thing we know we SHALL BE NATIONALIZED!
  • Vernon Crump: In view of the very great dangers of a privately run railway, I feel that the only solution to the problem is a privately run bus.
  • Valentine: Come on, have at him!
  • Gordon: You're backing the wrong team, Mr Valentine - that's your engine; cost you a packet, if she's beaten.
  • Valentine: Money is the curse of all modern sports, Sir.
