Railways on UK TV

Fred Dibnah's Railway Collection is being re-run, starting today, 14:00 to 14:30 repeated 18:00 to 18:30 weekdays on Freeview channel 12

Forgot to add 18/07/2012 Wed 20:00 to 21:00 Channel5: World's Fastest Train - The making of the AGV.

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.

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
