The Train Now Departing

The Survivors (1x6)

: 20, 1988

First transmitted in 1988, preservation societies strive to keep services running for new visitors 20 years after the last passenger steam train ran on mainline railways. Accompanied by footage of engines on the Bluebell Line and the Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway, enthusiasts talk about their passion for steam and why all the hard work involved in restoring and operating a steam train is worth it.
