Description

Despite being phased-out by British rail networks in 1968, the steam train has resisted its bleak fate of becoming a mere museum exhibit, and fading into obscurity. This series charts their re-emergence over the subsequent twenty year period following the end of the age of steam.

The Long Drag

First transmitted in 1988, this programme charts the dramatic changes that have taken place across Britain's railway network since the 1960s and the subsequent 20-year period following the end of the steam age.The programme includes an examination of events surrounding the proposed closure of the Settle to Carlisle line, one of the most magnificent stretches of railway line in England. Over 72 miles long and England's highest mainline, it was known as Ă˘â‚¬ÂThe Long Drag' by the men who worked the line. The film follows activists comprised of railwaymen, rail enthusiasts and local residents who are rallying together to fight this proposed closure.
