#Railways200

The Leicester-Swannington railway opened in 1832, had the world's longest tunnel at the time, Glenfield Tunnel at a mile long, the first Railway to use Train whistles and has a fascinating history.

I'm sure that'll be mentioned in #Railways200 before long.

Anytime now.

This week on #BBC4 they're reshowing #RailwaysTheMakingOfANation, from 2016. I took part in the episode about leisure, due on Wednesday. I was filmed in a signal box at Ramsbottom, on the East Lancashire Railway, talking about early excursion trains. #Railways200

On 27 Sep 1825, George Stephenson’s steam-powered Locomotion No. 1 travelled 26 miles between Shildon, Darlington and Stockton!
