1)Hill Stations of the Raj and
2) Steaming On

3 April 2012



Hill Stations of the Raj
Nostalgic reminders of the days of the Raj when over seventy hill stations provided welcome summer relief from the dust, heat, and humidity of the plains. Tea gardens, stunning mountain scenery, and visits by British-built railways to four hill stations in India, Burma (Myanmar) and Sri Lanka.

Steaming On
The very best of some of the UK's 100+ steam railways which carry over 5 million passengers each year on 500 miles of track using lovingly restored old steam locomotives and carriages. A look, at the volunteers who run them, and scenic views recreating railway travel from a more leisurely time. Pure steamy nostalgia!

Paul gives over 100 talks per year, raising funds for charity. He is a keen photographer, rail enthusiast and traveller.
