Walking Britain’s Lost Railways

Walking Britain’s Lost Railways follows Rob Bell as he revisits lines decommissioned in the 1960s, beginning in Scotland

Presenter Rob Bell does exactly what the title suggests in this new series, strolling along the country’s decommissioned rail lines to see what has happened to them since the trains went elsewhere.

Rob begins in Scotland, following the old route from Elgin to Portsoy and passing through communities involved in the fishing and whisky industries.
