Before the Hampshire Units roamed the line, push-pull trains flew up and over the alps! A curious technology where the train can be driven from the coaches, push-pull led the way for the modern trains we see today. To find out a little more about how all of this works, we visited our friends at the South Devon Railway, where their GWR auto train still operates. With some scenic shots and a view you don’t normally get to see, this is a smashing episode! | The Watercress Line

Many railways have had the age old question when locomotives are being restored, but how much work does it actually take? For this video we look back to a visit we paid to Stewarts Lane and the Merchant Navy Locomotive Preservation Society's locomotive 'Clan Line' to find out just what's involved when it comes to mainline steam! Once again a huge thanks to the MNLPS team for hosting us during one of their prep days and for giving us a detailed rundown of everything they do! | The Watercress Line
