Hi all,

Does anyone remember this documentry from years ago? I think it was aired by Channel 4. I want to watch it again. Does anybody know anywhere where its avalible to watch online?

I havn't had any luck in finding it. I've also checked YouTube, and it isn't on there.

Cheers,

Heinz

If you have Sky then it usually crops up on one of the documentary channels from time to time.

I haven't seen it appear on "Yesterday", though they do show a lot of Fred Dibnah - I think they mainly show former BBC programmes.

The Freeview channel Quest is owned by Discovery, so it may crop up there.

As an aside. Where could I find some good information about Waterman Railways?

He was full of ideas but was put of by the complexity of privatisation.

Think he bought locos and the BR charter fleet? I remember hearing he wanted to be running lots of 'Bucket and Spade' type excursions every weekend but gave up. Pity because he is a proper railway minded man.

He was around enough to have his own liveried stock (pics anyone?).

Would be good if he would make a return to the industry - working with/backing a TOC franchisee/ starting an Open Access operation or having another go at charter trains.

Do you read this Pete? Hope so :)
