Panorama

on BBC One London

BR - the Ultimate Sell-Off Now that the Government has set its sights on privatising British Rail,
Panorama investigates the controversial way the national network is likely to be broken up. Profit-making services like Inter-City and Railfreight are due to be floated off into the private sector. But who will want to buy the loss-making rural lines and the big-city commuter services?
Fred Emery reports on reaction round the country to the many changes already affecting services in what's being seen as the run-up to privatisation. And in interviewing Sir Robert Reid , BR Chairman, and Mr Cecil Parkinson, Transport
Secretary, he pinpoints why trains, and the Channel
Tunnel, are turning this into a major political issue. Producer MARK KILUCK Editor TIM GARDAM
