What’s in a tin of paint? Apparently a fair bit of controversy! Today we jump back in time to the days before southern railway and the ‘big 4’ were formed to look at how locomotive liveries developed into some of the schemes we see today and some odd combinations including vibrant colours and wallpaper (yes really!). Thank you to our friends at the Bluebell Railway and Didcot Railway Centre for lending us their wonderful locations for filming! | The Watercress Line

Before the Hampshire Units roamed the line, push-pull trains flew up and over the alps! A curious technology where the train can be driven from the coaches, push-pull led the way for the modern trains we see today. To find out a little more about how all of this works, we visited our friends at the South Devon Railway, where their GWR auto train still operates. With some scenic shots and a view you don’t normally get to see, this is a smashing episode! | The Watercress Line

How do you take a line abandoned by British Rail and turn it into a heritage railway? That was the challenge faced by the early creators of The Watercress Line. However, running a heritage railway to modern standards came with its own challenges and inspired solutions! Today we find out about one of the many people who helped shaped the Watercress Line into the railway you see today and how the line “nearly” got electrified…sort of! Railway historian Tim Dunn is on hand to tell us more. https://
