In the late 1950s and early 1960s, the BBC broadcast a series of television programmes called Railway Roundabout, featuring train lines which proved to be on the point of closure and locomotives that were about to disappear forever.
This archive film footage has been transformed by Ian Allan and is now available as nine separate Railway Roundabout DVDs, all superbly recreating the lost age of steam!
With additional footage from the original series, "Railway Roundabout Revisited" presents a selection of highlights to delight existing and new steam enthusiasts. Featured in this programme, produced from original film supplied by the National Railway Museum, is a host of fascinating archive material from the early 1960s. Amongst the highlights is an insider's view of York Signal box, Bewdley station on a busy bank holiday, the new "Midland Pullman", the last train over the Shropshire and Montgomery and steam over Shap in 1963.
