This week on the BBC Archives Turkey programme, we are broadcasting the Istanbul section of the documentary about the Orient Express, prepared in 1971. The footage consists mainly of recordings from the Halkalı-Sirkeci suburban train line. The famous British architecture critic Ian Nairn prepared many TV programmes for the BBC in the 1960s and 1970s. Nairn took up the Orient Express in one of his programmes. In the programme, Nairn followed the Orient Express's tracks and his journey ended in Istanbul. BBC Turkish website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/turkce Facebook: / bbcturkceservisi Twitter: / bbcturkce
