Locomotion: Dan Snow's History of Railways episode 2 - Dan Snow traces the development of Britain's railways, from the beginnings of a true national network in the late 1830s through to the end of the 'railway mania' in 1847. In the late 1830s, the railways arrived in London and linked the capital to Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester.
