Is this a repeat of "Down the Line"? Will I (in Central) be able to watch other regions - I am sure that it is in Central listings!? Will it be on iPlayer?

The trouble I suspect was, there's already a TV series called "Down the Line" which covers (mainly) overseas routes. It was reshown in the weeks after the original Calder programme went out. So this repeat appears to have been rebranded to avoid confusion.
I could be wrong, but that's my guess...

I found the BBC4 version of the repeat a bit clunky on my PC, but the iplayer version here is of much better viewing quality. ;) :D ;D This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
