The Trains That Time Forgot: Britain’s Lost Railway Journeys

The show takes a look back to a lost era of rail travel, when trains had names, character and style. Andrew Martin asks why we once named trains and why we don’t do so anymore as he embarks on three railway journeys around the country, following the routes of three of the most famous named trains, the Flying Scotsman, the Cornish Riviera Express and the Brighton Belle.
