The Sights & Sounds Of Pure Steam

The East Coast of England was served by the railways that came together in 1923 to form the London and North Eastern Railway, one of the greatest railway companies of all time. Renowned for its famous named trains such as the "Flying Scotsman", the "Silver Jubilee" and the "Queen of Scots", amongst others, the LNER built a succession of legendary Pacific steam locomotives to the designs of Sir Nigel Gresley, many of which were named after racehorses.

By contrast, the LNER's railways in East Anglia were built to serve a land which has changed little over the years, and the railways reflected this timeless appeal. In this programme we see, in images recorded over the last decade, the survivors of the LNER era still at work on the lines for which they were built, ranging from London's King's cross to Retford, and across the Fens into deepest Norfolk on the North Sea coast at Weybourne, all still evoking the Glory of Steam in East Anglia and Eastern England.
