Blue Pullman is a 1960 British short documentary film directed an written by James Ritchie. It was produced by British Transport Films and follows the development and preparation of a train journey from Manchester to London on new British Railways Blue Pullman diesel multiple units.
The film includes coverage of engineers conducting the train's technical trials, and the Manchester Piccadilly to London St Pancras journey filmed from the driver's cab and from the air.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "It is a pity that the producers, for some inexplicable reason, appear reluctant to show the train starting and stopping properly: the arrival at St. Pancras in particular is sadly botched and comes as a let down after the vivid presentation of the Blue Pullman in motion. A very nicely made informational film which has the distinct virtues too of an effective score by Clifton Parker, stylish editing and a commendable inclination to let the visuals speak for themselves: how pleasant indeed not to have an incessantly chattering commentator and, instead, to have descriptive comments kept to a minimum."
The won several awards, including the Technical & Industrial Information section of the Festival for Films for Television in 1961.
