Steam Days - 'Going Great Western'

Miles Kington explores the line laid from Bristol to Exeter by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and then travels through south Devon in all its glory. The enormous task facing Brunel in the design and construction of the Royal Albert Bridge is considered. Perhaps less well known is the impact of the railway line and the rail company on promoting tourism in the Edwardian golden age of British seaside resorts.
First broadcast August 1986
