WE are fortunate in Britain to have a rich and varied railway preservation movement, with lines across the country offering their visitors a glimpse into the past – something that is quite rightly being celebrated in this Railway 200 year.
That rich history also offers makers of films and TV shows an authentic and readymade set for any of their scenes taking place on a train, at a station, or by the lineside. I am sure many of our readers will have played ‘guess the location’ when watching something that suddenly cuts to a familiar-looking railway setting.
