The BBC were back in Weymouth & Portland this weekend filming for a new series called Railroad Walks about Britain’s forgotten rail lines. The programme starts in Weymouth and follows the Rodwell Trail. It is presented by Julia Bradbury who recently presented the very successful BBC series Wainwright's Walks. Local historian Stuart Morris is featured talking about some of our local history.
The programme is due to be aired in June on BBC4 and it is hoped that it will be repeated on BBC2.
