Descrição
To mark the 200th anniversary of the birth of rail, Britain's Railway Empire in Colour reveals the extraordinary story of how Britain gave railways to the world – from the first tentative experiments with steam power, through the boom years at home, to the exporting of this new technology to every corner of the globe. Using leading experts and enthusiasts, including TikTok trainspotter Francis Bourgeois, plus extensive newly colourised archive, the truly revolutionary invention and impact of the locomotive is explored.

Episode 1
The first episode tracks how the railways grew from coal trucks in the north-east of England to transforming the lives of the Victorians. Trainspotter Francis Bourgeois tells the story of his 19th-century equivalent, schoolboy George Tod, who took stunning black and white photographs of his favourite engines. These and other photographs have been colourised, bringing the old railways back to life. There are also stories from the Empire as well as narratives from closer to home, including the magnificent Forth Bridge.
