The last year of the old Lötschberg, the first of the new............ The Lötschberg as we have known it for over 100 years will come to an end, but from its ashes will rise a new super railway UNDER the majestic Swiss Alps. In the meantime there is so much to remember from the old line along which we make a sentimental journey. We start at Spiez by the Thuner See and watch trains prepare for the arduous journey. Then we meander up the north ramp watching trains as we go. As far as Frutigen the changes to the route will be fairly minor, but here the new base tunnel begins. We inspect the site and have a look at the underground working before heading on to the Kanderviadukt. We get some splendid views from the ground and air, then onto the spiral complex at Felsenburg. We “drive” through the 14km tunnel to Goppenstein, use car and helicopter to find some unusual views of the structures that make the south ramp so memorable. We conclude at Brig with some stunning shots over the station and the Rhône valley.

Welcome to the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, Mega port and the second largest city in Germany. There is a lot to see and the best way to get orientated is from the Heinrich-Hertz-Turm -the television tower- with commanding views across the city, much of the harbour, the Hbf and beyond. There is a complex public transport system to master: the unusual third rail S-Bahn, the metro (the Hamburger Hochbahn) and the delightful AKN network north of the city. Within the city we visit: the harbour - the second largest container port in Europe - the Cap San Diego Museum ship and, especially for rail enthusiast, the art nouveau Dammtor station and Miniatur-Wunderland- Europe's most visited model railway with 900,000 visitors a year! Our long day out is to another maritime jewel the Hanseatic City of L?beck - where the marzipan comes from - and to L?neburg! As usual we will be suggesting places to stay, to eat and to relax when things get too hectic- as they they can in a city of nearly two million! Narrated Filmed in High Definition.

In this instalment we start at Biel on the northern shore of the Bieler See. We follow the lake south to Neuchâtel and explore this very French town, and make a diversion to La Chaux-de-Fonds to see some narrow gauge freight being transferred.

Back on the lake side, Lac de Neuchâtel this time, we view the NBS / ABS between Bevaix and Grandson. We spend a little time around Grandson – well it’s just so photogenic, then head south through Yverdon-les-Bains to Lausanne.

The rest of the film is spent along side the Lake – Le Léman or Lac de Genève. We visit the town and station itself, St-Prex – where we see recycled glass being railed into Votropack, Neon and naturally Genève. We travel west of that very international city to watch TGVs cross the border into France. East of Lausanne is one of the most attractive stretches of railway line in Europe from Cully to Vevey we watch the trains run along side the lake from vantage points in the vineyards – it’s a tough job but someone has to do it!

The Semmering links Vienna with Italy and Slovenia. Our journey starts at the Südbahnhof for passenger trains, and Kledering -Austria's most important classification yard for freight. At Wiener Neustadt there is a secondary freight yard where trains can be held and prepared, if necessary, before going on to the Semmering. Beyond this the railway runs across the flat Steinfeld through St Egyden and Gloggnitz, where there was, until the advent of high powered electric traction, the base station for the Semmering north ramp. The place where banker locomotives and assistants are attached and detached. The scenic section of the Semmering really begins around Payerbach Reichenau, 82 kilometres from Vienna at an altitude of 494 metres where there are still facilities to hold freight trains before they head for the hills! The section between Klamm and Breitenstein includes a number of short tunnels and viaducts, all the time the line is climbing at 1.9 per cent. This area is very remote and inaccessible, one of the most interesting elements of the whole route! Narrated.
