Part of the festival was the amusement park at Battersea - with the Emmet
Railway. I loved this. I think the amusements stayed there after the
festival was over because we went there quite often.


I believe parts of this remained until quite recent times, maybe 15 years
or so ago, though I never went there. Another television documentary
film, 'The River's Tale', Had some scenes filmed there I seem to remember.

There are still a few other remains of the Festival,


One is the RT bus that was displayed at the Festival. It reappeared at the
Millenium Dome. Anyone know where it is normally to be found these days?
