PROGRAMME 4

Banking an Incline
Historically inclines have always attracted the enthusiast as they are the place to hear an engine working really hard. We visit the infamous Lickey Incline and see that modern locos still need a helping hand.

Yellow Doctor
Network Rail has introduced a special track testing train nicknamed the Yellow Doctor, that travels all over the country taking thermal imagery, ultra soundings and lots of other clever things, we take a ride with it.

Community Branchlines
The Strategic Rail Authority have launched a new initiative to promote local community involvement in helping to run rural branch lines. We visit the Bittern line from Norwich to Cromer to see how local organisations have been encouraged to adopt their local stations.

Romney Hythe & Dimchurch
Every May the RHD run a parallel parade gala where two double-headed locos “race” each other to Dungeness lighthouse .
