Great railway journeys - S04E01

Trains have a magic and mystery which is being lost in the West as the motor car takes over. But in the many parts of the world they are still the main method of transport - accessible to all, uniting families, forming crucial arteries linking societies. On trains you can discover something about the heart and soul of a country. In Great Railway Journeys six exceptional travellers share with us their discoveries, and their pleasures in travelling by train, whether in a steam train, a shabby diesel or on a steam engine footplate.

Entertaining and thoughtful, full of personal memories and beautifully described experiences, each journey has its own very unique character, to be savoured by those who enjoy travelling, are interested in contemporary life in other parts of the world, and, of course, love the magic and mystery of trains

Series 4 Episode 1. India from East to West: Calcutta to Rajasthan

with Ian Hislop



In the first programme of the fourth series, Private Eye Editor and TV satirist Ian Hislop discovers India by travelling by rail from Calcutta, former capital of the British Raj, to the romantic desert forts of Rajasthan. The train service is part of the British legacy - Indian Railways carries more than 10 million passengers daily and employs the largest labour force in the world. In moving between Communism in the East and the mediaeval world of the Maharajas in the West, Ian makes a journey both in distance and time. Along the way, he poses for photographs outside the Taj Mahal and sees the black hole in the desert where the Indians exploded a nuclear bomb.
