Beeching's Tracks (BBC1)

 In 1963 Dr Richard Beeching's infamous report 'The Reshaping of British Railways' was published. It led to miles of track being ripped up, closure of hundreds of stations and thousands of people being thrown out of work across the UK.

Presenter Joe Crowley makes a journey around the south of England to discover the effects of the Beeching Report in the 1960s, and the lasting impact still felt today.

Beeching's Tracks first broadcast on BBC1, and will be released on DVD, Spring 2011.
