Trainspotting TV series on That's TV

[montyburns56]

I've just noticed today that there is a TV series on the That's TV Freeview channel called Trainspotting which features an hour's footage footage of the railways in the 1960s. Today's episode was called Waterloo Sunset and was unsurprisingly about the lines out of Waterloo  from 1958 to 1967. There was lots of nice footage of the various Spam Cans and their cousins and even some footage of the USA Dock Tank. I don't know what is the source of the footage, but there's going to be some future episodes about the other regions. The next episode is Steam In The Midlands Monday 15th Jan 13:05 and then Bewdley to Blaenau Tuesday 16th Jan 13:05. Unfortunately it seems that there are eight episodes and most of them have already been shown. 😠
