For members of the ‘Julia Bradbury appreciation society’ there is a new series entitled ‘Railway Walks’ on BBC4 Thursdays at 8:30. The first was in the Peak District last night - just caught it on BBC iPlayer.

In reply to G4OWG:
Something to get steamed up about, eh Roger? Ah, the nostalgia!
Hopefully it will evoke the emotions set alight by one of my favourite books - “Discovering Britain’s Lost Railways” by Paul Atterbury.
Off now go see.

In reply to M0SGB :
I worked GM3TKV/P from Dufton with Barry 'TOE operating when I was on May Hill Saturday, and GB0GWR from Cheltenham when having a tune around on the campsite the next day - and rather than face Ruardean Hill (not my idea of a fun hill!) I visited the Forest of Dean railway later that day! Well, they call it steam radio, so why not?
