The Trains That Time Forgot: Britain's Lost Railway Journeys

Andrew Martin investigates why named trains, once the pride of the railway companies that ran them, have now largely been confined to locomotive history. Embarking on a series of rail journeys around Britain, Andrew revisits the routes travelled by the Flying Scotsman, the Cornish Riviera Express and the Brighton Belle, three of Britain's most famous named trains, as he reflects on the bygone golden age of railways
