Great British Railway Journeys (2010)

S9E7 Pontyclun to Ebbw Vale Town

With his trusty Edwardian Bradshaw's guide in hand, Michael uncovers a treasure at the Royal Mint in Llantrisant, successfully navigating security to explore the secure vaults. At Cardiff Arms Park, he reflects on a glorious Welsh win against the formidable All Blacks, listening to Welsh rugby legend Gerald Davies recount how the national anthem outshone the intimidating Haka. In Cardiff Bay, Michael learns about the launch site of one of the most notorious journeys of the Edwardian age—Scott's doomed Antarctic expedition. Onboard the racing yacht Challenge Wales, he meets aspiring sailors preparing for the Tall Ships Race.
