Glory Days of Diesel 3: South Midlands (2007)

This programme stretches across the country from the Lickey Bank to the Midland Main Line and down to Bristol and Oxford. British Rail diesel stalwarts of the pre and post-privatisation eras at work on a wide variety of traffic. We see locomotive haulage of local and express passenger trains, special excursions with preserved locomotives on the main lines. Special features at Longbridge Car Plant and on the demise of Speedlink. This fabulous programme, part of a wonderful eight-volume series, celebrates the might of diesel, an often overlooked part of British rail heritage. Incredible action footage makes every title in this series a real treat.
