Channel 5 - Walking Britain's Lost Railways (2018) Part 2 Sheffield

Rob Bell revisits lines decommissioned in the 1960s and celebrates the new life that has been created from their remains.

Part 2 Sheffield

Rob Bell starts his journey in the steel town of Sheffield, where across the road from the old Royal Victoria Station, the Station Hotel once served as a temporary home to millions of train passengers. He takes a short ride on a freight train out of Sheffield towards Wortley, where he is thrilled by a miniature railway run by local engineering enthusiasts. Over the Pennines, Rob traces the route of the Woodhead Tunnel, once the longest of its kind, before joining a still-working stretch of the line at Hadfield, heading into his final destination - the industrial powerhouse of Manchester.
