  • In this incredibly special episode, one family restores a Royal carriage - one of only two surviving coaches used by Queen Victoria herself. It’s been rotting in a car park for decades, but now owner Stephen Middleton puts his heart and soul in to a restoration fit for a queen.

    In a first for railway restoration, this series takes four of the most iconic carriages ever to run on the railways and brings them back to their former glory. Teams of world-class restoration experts each restore a different carriage from a different era, spanning 100 years of railway travel including one of only two surviving Royal coaches used by Queen Victoria in 1887 and a once-glamorous 1960 Pullman dining car.
    Presented by historian Peter Snow, viewers follow the ups and downs of each restoration while TV presenter Henry Cole explores what it was like to be a passenger in each era of rail travel.

    Magnificent family and team effort. I have to get back to the UK and book this carriage.

    You should invite the Queen of England to take a ride on the train. I am sure she would enjoy it.

    Absolutely fabulous! Can’t believe we throw away our history so easily. Fantastic job on all these cars.

    Thank-you for sharing this. Queen Victoria rode in this carriage on the rail line at the bottom of my garden (a few ;o) years before I owned the house).

    I can’t believe they didn’t show the gold threshold polished and ready. What was all the buildup about?!?

    The greatest rail restoration is 4014.
    Took 6 years,,,millions of dollars.
    Also took60 years to turn a wheel.
    All hail 4014,,the living legend. I saw her run twice last year. Although not as thorough rebuild,,1309 is now running.

    How come you and all others forget about Richard Trevithick who invented the first high-pressure steam engine and the first operational steam locomotive at the turn of the 19th century?
