I know from on here that the London UndergrounD has a following, so channel 5's offering on Friday 13/07/2012 from 19:00 to 20:00 "Building the London Underground" will no doubt appeal. There are also references to the New York City Subway and the Paris Metro.

It's a rarity for me to watch television, but I shall make an effort to watch that.
Thank's for the information.

There is a programme "How Britain Worked" coming up on Sun 21/10/2012 from 20:00 to 21:00 on Channel 4
The summary reads:
"Engineering enthusiast Guy Martin ....... begins by overhauling a steam locomotive currently in use on the Severn Valley Railway, repairing its boiler, safety valves and one of its two-ton wheels. He also lays some track using the same methods as the notorious `navvies' - the notorious, hard-living labourers who laid Britain's entire railway infrastructure by hand.".
This is part 1 of a series of 6 programmes.

Worth a second look:

'The Last Days of Steam', BBC4 Sunday 18/11/2012, 19:00 to 20:00

The GCR was on channel 4 a couple of nights ago in Heston Blumintal's lastest mad programe with the Red 8 and some interesting coaches, can be found on the iplayer or endlessly repeated on one of their other channels

http://www.channel4.com/programmes/hestons...stical-food/4od

Looking at it, I would guess it was filmed in July as I did spy in one of the shot thourgh a window a class 70 in frieghtliner livery, which if memory serves was at the GC testing at that time
