Rent Preserved Lines: Southern England (2010)

Up and down Britain, there are over a hundred heritage railway lines mostly funded and financed by volunteers. Locomotives, carriages and rolling stock from the past are lovingly restored to pristine condition and operated. Preserved Lines traces the history of each line from its BR demise to the present day, celebrating the history, the preservation, the restoration and the people involved with some of the UK's finest heritage railway lines. Each fascinating programme visits a specific heritage railway line and offers a unique insight into the considerable efforts necessary to keep that heritage railway operating.
