Timeshift: The Nation’s Railway: The Golden Age of British Rail (BBC Four Tuesday 10 October 2023)
Timeshift: The Nation’s Railway: The Golden Age of British Rail airs Tuesday 10 October 2023 on BBC Four.
What is this episode about
The public ownership era of the British railway system is examined in Timeshift. Despite its poor reputation now, the old British Rail courageously updated a dilapidated, war-ravaged Victorian transport network for the modern era. Steam was replaced by diesel and electric, cutting-edge stations like Euston were constructed, and Britain’s first high-speed trains were introduced with an eye towards the future.
With its insider’s look at the British Transport Films archive, this documentary is a warm rebuttal to the urban legend of the bad old days on the rails.
