Tim Dunn visits the popular Victorian holiday resort Saltburn-by-the-Sea, exploring the North Yorkshire town that owes its very existence to the railways.

As well as admiring the town's grand station, Tim stops off at the former railway hotel with its own private platform, the impressive seaside pier and eco-friendly cliff tramway.

Tim also takes a look at Grade 2 listed Brislington Tram Depot in Bristol, and uncovers the story of Aleksandrow?Kujawski, a Polish border station that welcomed Russian Royalty.

Tim explores London's first passenger railway – the London and Greenwich Railway, on the longest railway viaduct in Britain today.

He also marvels at the mechanics of the Deptford Creek Lifting Bridge and the brewing businesses that operate under the arches of the viaduct today.

The programme explores Alnwick Station, a disused station in the North East of England, reinvented as one of the UK's largest second-hand book shops. And in Central Europe, the Zampach Viaduct in the Czech Republic was built as part of a much-needed rail link to transport timber to the capital, Prague.
