Description

July to December

Programme number 25 in the Traction series features a surprisingly diverse mix of unusual workings, locomotive fleet developments and notable highlights from the preservation world. There may be countless Class 66s at work the length and breadth of Britain, but the old order is still going strong, thanks to a multitude of private operators. So, be prepared to expect the unexpected as a variety of motive power events unfold before your eyes in a DVD that has something for everyone.

News stories, factual information, an astonishing assortment of strange workings and locomotive classes - all mixed with plenty of thrash - make this programme the most comprehensive and authoritative video record of the second six months of 2007.
