Channel 5 - Walking Britain's Lost Railways Series 3 (2020) Part 2 Highlands

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

Part 2 Highlands

Rob Bell follows the Callander and Oban Railway, an epic 70-mile route from Scotland's Lowlands to its glorious west coast. Setting off from Callander, he recalls the 14 years of determination it took to build this railway and how, with the help of local hero Rob Roy, it changed Victorian perceptions of the Highlands. No longer a distant land of fearsome Clans, the mountains, lochs and valleys were now a romantic and accessible destination of choice. Spectacles on the line include Glen Ogle, Loch Tay and an impressive terminus still evident at Oban.
