The last of five programmes Line of Dreams
Narrator John Shrapnel
The Marudhar Express steams across the desert lands of north-west India carrying a member of the royal house of Jodhpur in first-class comfort. A young boy risks his life clambering between carriages to earn a few rupees on the train ... and a remarkable railway inspector dresses in disguise to catch ticket defaulters.
For six hours they share a journey across the magical land of Rajasthan.
