| 17:55 | Britain's Railway Empire in Colour | Investigating how the rail compartment fascinated the Victorians as a place of intrigue and romance.

In South Africa, the railways played a key role in the Boer War and a battle for an armoured train made Winston Churchill famous. Railways were forced to adapt to world events - transporting soldiers in two World Wars and employing women in key roles for the first time. Hundreds of black and white photographs and reels of film survive from those tumultuous times. The latest technology restores the archive, bringing the story of rail back to life | |
