Down in the Dudley tunnel, Guy gets a proper taste of the back-breaking reality behind Britain’s early transport network. With Becky from the Dudley Canal and Tunnel Trust, he learns how this narrow, hand-carved passage once carried tens of thousands of boats a year — powered not by engines, but by people flat on their backs, legging along the walls. Four hours. Nearly two miles. Muscles you didn’t even know you had screaming for mercy.

Part of The British Train That Changed The World — now on Channel 4. A proper watch, this.
