@SilsdenCougar I don't think it will happen, while it was easy under BR for the BBC to make such a project, nowadays, even if a train company like Southern were up for it, Network Rail would probably say no to a train traveling undisturbed from Victoria to Brighton, as it would hold up the other train companies like Gatwick Express and First Capital Connect (Thameslink), not to mention the EWS freight services. Bring back British Rail!
I also remember this as a kid, I would have been around 10 or 11.
Was mesmerised by the visuals and the music, and then remember wanting it to be reshown - obviously back then you couldn't just jump online and grab it.
I'd love to get a broadcast quality copy of it so that fullscreen on a PC wouldn't look quite so blocky.
I remember this from 1983, I was late back for double maths after watching this on Pebble Mill! It affected me so profoundly that now I am a Train driver
I haven't seen this since I was a kid, managed to record it on our VCR and I must have worn the tape out watching it over and over again!!

Blue / grey EPBs and Mk1 slammers was what it was all about in '83.

It's actually 27 years old now. It first came out in 1983.

The music is by Kim McRoddan apparently (according to the TV Ark website). It is absolutely fab and really atmospheric of the time.
