Join the driver for this cab ride aboard an HST InterCity 125 train along Brunel's famous Great Western Railway (GWR) from London's Paddington station to Bristol Temple Meads, and then on to Exeter St Davids.
The route was originally built as a broad gauge line, but was converted to standard gauge over a century ago. A visit to the preserved railway centre at Didcot adds historical perspective by looking at the broad gauge track which has been assembled there. The original train shed at the Bristol terminus is also visited.
Filmed in 1993. Commentary by Anton Roger.
