I can't see a thread elsewhere for this, but did anyone watch this and if so, what were your thoughts?
I enjoyed it AP, I thought the maintenance people working under pressure to get that Class 91 back up and running was interesting, and the morons who overloaded the lift was a good laugh.
In the main, informative TV about railway people going about their business the best they can, and in many cases, under great pressure.
Keep 'em coming I say...
And I'm surprised that the station staff couldn't have done anything and had to wait for an engineer to attend.I was surprised the lift failed so easily? if it's overweight, the lift should not have tried to move?

I enjoyed it, but thought it was very similar to other rail programmes over the recent few years.

I quite like how they feature different stations. I think the previous series were at paddington and London bridge? i hope they do one for London Victoria.
Another thing I noticed was that after all the panic about the problem train, they eventually told us it would be fixed in time for an 1130 service, but never said how they covered the 0830 that it was originally intended for.
We were left to guess that presumably it was swapped with the 1130 set, but how handy that it just happened to be in the right place to cover a 3-hours earlier service.
I wonder why this isn't available to watch on demand
It's available on Catch Up on Virgin
Perhaps they didn't buy right shot show it online.Thanks, I wonder why it's not online on my5

I managed to watch it at about 11pm last night on my5.
As usual in these programmes, a driver taking his break was mentioned for a delay to a train leaving. Always seems to be snuck (sic?) into each documentary

It's as though no other staff member gets a PNB
It wasn't the fact the driver was on a break that was surprising, it was the fact the dispatcher didn't know the driver was on a break.
Seemed rather poor communication, a bit like the broken down train being brought in and nobody realising there were still passengers on board.
And then the controllers announce no seat reservations and are puzzled when everyone runs to get a seat. Really, what did you think would happen.
Many don't !
The idiots in the lift would have annoyed me had they have kicked off. It served them right for being trapped.
