Good old railway inflation! R*******k's 2000 project cost was £36m. Compare this to BR's 1985 project to electrify and resignal all the way from Colchester to Harwich and Norwich for £63m. One of Carillion's signs for Proof House was still standing until recently. Not sure if it was left as a memorial to the project or to Carillion.

thank you for saving and uploading a piece of history

Could you teach me to make this? I actually work with aeolis and dubeveg

I have never scene that type of music player. Looks like a one of those hard floppy discs that used to be used for computers before 2002.

Lucy Kite started as a Central News 'weather girl' and after a couple of years was assistant anchor to Bob Warman..quite an standing fixture for the Midlands television News ..Lucy worked with Bob in Nottingham....home of the t.v studios of an 'ill' conceived go at bringing 'Crossroads' back...the 'stars' lived in villages close to Nottingham like Bingham and Radcliffe-on Trent. The Wedding in Crossroads was filmed at Bingham Church, and the bride and groom inside the leaving car 'stopped' going on a narrow country road very close to a place called Whatton Manor Stud, owned by the 'Players cigarettes family, where there are racehorses.

And then we get HS2, well a bit of it anyway.

What a beautiful film just a shame I couldn’t watch the end

@8:30 😂😂😂 Yep, thats British Railway @16:00 No idea how people do commutes like this every day, would drive me mad.

Thanks for posting this. I always remember that Peter Plisner was a quality journalist when it came to the reporting of railways. You always knew that what you heard from him was highly accurate whilst you could always pick holes with other journalists railway reporting.

Sorry about the cut off at the end of the programme, I think my mum must have recorded something else over the very end of this. I think there are only a minute or two missing.

27mins cracking insight but....no bloody ending😮

Really pleased you uploaded this, I remember this blockade very well indeed, and recognise a lot of the railways personal, shown or interviewed,

Did that bloke say his name was David Gorman?!

What happened

Railtrack and Carillion what could go wrong........

Shame we didn't see the completion. Very interesting programme though.

Poor David! 30 minutes longer journey than before the works started 🙄

Tools and methods look way older than 25 years, especially some of the track laying processes.

Great watch.

09:00 An idiot manager who instructs another idiot with cable croppers is a dangerous mix. There are rules within many if not all of the UK's electricity operators to reduce the risk of cutting live services which include simple things like identifying service cables "BEFORE" cutting. Cable spiking on service cables will tell you after the event whether the cable is/was live. You never cut a cable you cannot identify end to end.

will we ever know?

omg thats what we named out channel after :D
