PROGRAMME 1

Bruce Dickinson
Presenter Mark Collins teams up with Heavy Metal legend Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden for a steam train driving day at the Bluebell Railway.

Driving simulator
Whilst we are all familiar with flight simulators, it may surprise you to know that Virgins new tilting train also has a simulator, which is located at their training centre in Crewe.

Pendolino Tilt Test run
Having experienced it in the simulator we now get a chance to see the real thing, sitting in on one of Virgin’s test runs as they reintroduce tilting trains to this country after a 30 year absence.

Peaks (Class 44‚s, 45‚s & 46‚s)
It is time for another tribute to classic diesel locos from Mark Collins. Collectively known as peaks, these distinctive locomotives can still be found in preservation.
