Agreed. Probably not enough for some, but at least they do give it a go. Good advert for the tours when they eventually restart.This is definitely one of the best of these sorts of programmes - I think it's that it adds in a bit of railway and social history that gives the whole thing a bit more depth.

I remember one series (may have been Branchline Britain or some such?), where they used to morph between historical view and current view, which I thought very effective. A bit like the Then and Now books, but done dynamically. I wish more programs would do that kind of thing. Probably takes a lot of time and research, however, meaning it will be quite expensive to do.
Quite a bit of old footage which I enjoyed.
In tonight's show did the programme makers try to pass off as present 1980s footage of carriage cleaners working on an Intercity terminator hauled by an 86?
What's the story with the WestCoast 37 dragging half a 156?
The footage of the 37 towing the 156 car was a home video taken by the engineer with 50 years service. Unfortunately it didn't mention the circumstances leading to this unusual combinationNot sure - a bit odd in the context of the 156 reliability that the bloke with 50 years service was going on about!
Caledonian Sleeper probably have staff on siteIn this weeks episode it was mentioned that the station employees cover eight different companies. Virgin (now Avanti), LNER, Scotrail, TPE, Network Rail, Mitie, presumably the other two would be BTP and the Grand Central Hotel? And why was a hotel employee allowed to enter the painting competition? Rules of most competitions say that employees of any organisation associated with it may not enter.
In the episode summary quoted by Beebman there's mention of the Blue Lagoon refurbishment which occurred a good while after the first series ended - so it won't be a repeat. There were also notces up in the station near the end of last year advising passengers of the filming for a new series.

Was filmed between July and October. I think epoisides are in that order too
Subtitles are available on all programmes for those that need them. Being from the dull sounding south, I love the accents, but then I love the city itself so spend time there whenever I can. As for the reference to amber, the viewing majority of the general public would not give it a second thought.This programme will need subtitles for anyone who doesn't live in the West or Scotland.
This programme will need subtitles for anyone who doesn't live in the West or Scotland. The people who have been filmed so far have, mostly, spoken in strong Glasgow accents and dialects that are difficult to understand.
As for the Virgin woman referring to an amber, not impressed.

There have been a number of incidents with landslides. Wonder if it was footage of the recovery of one of those?The footage of the 37 towing the 156 car was a home video taken by the engineer with 50 years service.

On 22/1/18 156458 was derailed by a landslide at Loch Eilt on the West Highland line. It was later removed 37516.
This seems a good candidate.
