Peter Snow and Henry Cole help restore some of the most iconic railway carriages ever built – ranging from Queen Victoria's personal carriage to a 1960 Pullman kitchen-dining car – in order to tell the tale of how we built the railways, and more importantly, how the railways built us.

S1E3 - 1960 Luxury Carriage
Luxury and glamour are at the heart of this episode, as the series jumps forward 100 years to 1960. The restoration project this time is a rusting and tired Pullman dining car, one of the very last batch to be made in Britain. The dedicated restoration team at Tyseley Engineering Works in Birmingham must transform both the dining car while getting the wreck of a kitchen back to working order. There's heavy engineering to do, as well as meticulous attention to detail needed. Peter's third driving lesson sees him grappling with reading signals, while still keeping the fire burning and the steam at the correct pressure. Henry Cole delves into the history of catering on the railways.
