Along These Lines (180-mins) (DVD)

Ref: VI905D

From unique nature reserves and public footpaths to the abandoned and completely wild trackbeds and former stations. Part social history, part industrial archaeology, the series is a travel programme too, touching different counties and unearthing local characters and the area's industrial past.

TV viewers in the South of England have been enjoying a great series of programmes exploring the paths of old railway lines. Presenter, Hannah Shellswell walks and cycles disused rail tracks, sometimes alone, sometimes in conversation.

In the course of her journey, Hannah learns many things - local and anecdotal, historical and significant. But, essentially, it's the story of people; some well-known names crop up - like Dr. Beeching, whose damning report axed so many lines and stations in the sixties ,or did history blame the wrong man?

All eight episodes in the series are included:

1. Castleman's Corkscrew - Brockenhurst to Hamworthy
2. Longmoor Military Railway - Bordon to Liss
3. Somerset & Dorset Joint - Spetisbury and Sturminster Newton
