The Nimrod, The Wonder and the Tally Ho!

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

I know not, in the whole range of language, terms sufficiently expressive to describe the in-fernal road from Preston to Wigan. Let me most seriously caution all who may purpose to travel this country to avoid it as they would the devil, for a thousand to one that they will break their necks or their limbs by overthrows or breaking down.
Victor Lucas tells the fascinating, exciting and turbulent story of the ' Royal Mail,' and the pioneers of the old stage-coaches.
