Description:Pop impressario Pete Waterman has a secret -he is truly obsessed with railways. With the opinionated,sometimes angry Pete on the footplate we take 4 steam journeys through Britain on 4 truly great locomotives.
1. The ultra-competitive railway companies and feats of engineering from the railway-building Victorian age; 2. The 1920s - the heyday of steam ; 3. The largely-untold story of the railways in the Second World War; 4. Beeching and the modern railways. This is not simple "National Trust TV" - it's more opinionated,edgy and humorous than you might expect.
