This was the early evening news provision on the BBC until 5th July 1954, when they launched their first proper television news programme. However in-vision newsreaders did not arrive until September 1955.

Ah, postwar. All that coal (cough, cough), rationing, Attlee, Churchill, ailing King George, Princess Elizabeth, fog (cough), lingering war shadows, Festival of Britain (yay after all the business), and -- ugh -- Korea.... Fascinating glimpse into long-ago gray time ...

Very quaint, sorry Brittania in 1961 on the turntable at Liverpool street, the next time I saw it was in September 15 at Bodmin Parkway. Interesting how people spoke different in those days. Also had to laugh at Alf Barnes showing people how Britain could show the world how to build a steam loco when the world had moved on and the French showed the world how to push the boundries with electric traction recording 203mph in 1955. Must admit 70000 an her class were great locos.

It's almost as if the Brits were bankrupted by the war. Also the Americans still used steam locomotives into the sixties.

Love the tonality of old film.. Would this be 16mm?

Yes, as 8mm film would look not great on television and 35mm was far too expensive to waste on news programmes.

Actually it was all standard until 1954 when 71000 came along with 3 cylinders .

Ah yes, the Duke Of Gloucester, a prototype that turned out to be a bit of a flop, so they didn't make any more of that type. The reason that it alone had three cylinders was that if it had had two like the other BR Standards, they would have been too wide for the BR loading gauge.
