Morning all

I remember this documentary from a few years back and I remember being intrigued by it. Happened to catch it again recently and it got me thinking, does anyone know any of the staff featured and what they are doing these days?

Honourable mentions go to the Drivers from Northern and East Coast (lner)...can't remember their names at this moment!

Overall, thought it was an ok series.

These sorts of programmes crop up in the UK every so often.
There was one way back in the day (1988?) that sticks in my mind that was based in Doncaster in the early electrified ECML (to Leeds only) period. There was usually a 308 in the back of studio shot plying it's trade in SYPTE orange. It was something like a 30 minute daily show for a week. I might still have it somewhere on VHS.

More recently there have been reality documentaries following London Underground and (separately) Paddington.

Not sure whether any of these are accessible from Oz but are available to stream from within the UK (i.e. a VPN would do the trick)
