Guy digs into the story behind the Stockton & Darlington Railway, the groundbreaking line built to move the coal that powered Britain’s Industrial Revolution. From the geography that made canals impossible to George and Robert Stephenson’s engineering genius, he uncovers how their railway and Locomotion No.1 became the world’s first form of powered public transport. As work continues on assembling the new replica, Guy sees just how many parts — and how much graft — went into the machine that changed everything. Part of The British Train That Changed The World — now on Channel 4. A proper watch, this.
