Hi folks,
New fly-on-the-wall series about the rail network - looks similar to The Tube last year...
The Railway: Keeping Britain on Track
Season 1 Episode 1 of 6
King's Cross New series. Documentary going behind the scenes of the UK's rail network, revealing the inner workings of one of Britain's biggest institutions. At London's King's Cross station, platform staff search for late drivers to keep trains running on time, while management are on a recruitment drive for the new multimillion-pound western concourse. Train dispatcher Laxman has an emotional week as he prepares to leave and head off into retirement after 35 years working at the terminal

[Was] Looking forward to this tonight.;)
Seeing behind the scenes at KX should be good - the new concourse is an amazing piece of design and engineering.
1. no it's not
2. you are not packed in - you packed yourself in
Looked a bit artificial to me.
Yet another documentary about trains.
Was it an "experience malfunction?"
It was alright when it was GNER running it
They certainly are train mad at the moment.
I hope this isn't all going to be about customers moaning about the price.
Thank God I get free rail travel:D:D:)
And it's one of the franchises which was re-nationalised.
