There was a cameraman and crew at Didcot Parkway this morning so I assume this was for the Channel 5 documentary. Although nothing interesting was happening!

Reports that the channel 5 film crew will be visiting Charlbury over the coming weekend to film The Wilderness Festival. Be interesting to compare the event to that of Glastonbury and the different planning and activities that take place in two different regions of FGW▸ land.  |

Was just about to post following the arrival of the Radio Times for next week.
The programme is indeed at 8pm on Channel 5 on Thursday 29th. Billed as episode 1 of 12 - it looks at a late night service to Swansea from Paddington, how the railway coped with disruption at Paddington after a signal failure and "engineer Will" who works on maintaining trains "at the end of the line in Cornwall".

Meawhile, according to Digiguide - Episode 2 on the 5th Sept Problems arise when 15,000 extra passengers descend on one tiny station, tempers boil over when the Glastonbury music festival disrupts the regular commute, a station goes on lockdown when a man falls onto the tracks and a picturesque branch line receives a royal visit.

Should be well worth watching. Will be looking out for some familiar faces, eager for their 15 seconds of fame !

No worries, chuffed - I've simply moved and merged both topics here.  |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

Have heard that the production team were at the Dawlish Air Show on Friday and Saturday (23rd/24th August 2013).
Moderator Note: As the broadcast of this series is imminent and I predict comment on the content of the episodes, I've taken the liberty of renaming the topic to include the programme name.

Cheers Bignosemac, i was also going to mention about the commercials myself. Does there really have to be a commercial every 15 minutes or so, as it spoils the documentary, which it has done on other documentaries. Anyway you wait until next week Thursday to see what drama's unfold  |
