Railwatch was a magazine style programme broadcast over one week in
1989. It afforded viewers an in depth look behind the scenes at Britain's
railways, which were then still in public ownership. In the 20 years or so
since the programe was made there have been innumerable changes to the
UK railway network following privatisation. The programme therefore
stands as a vivid reminder of what the railways looked like a generation
ago. The programme was broadcast on daytime TV with a later onmibus
edition of the programme's highlights screened at the weekend.
