London to Brighton in 53 Minutes

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Jack Tinker spends 53 minutes - the length of time it takes to get from London to Brighton by train - telling the story of Britain's most famous railway line. He investigates the blood-curdling details of the celebrated Brighton railway murder, remembers the glamour of the Brighton Belle, discovers how the Victorians managed to get 11 million bricks into the heart of the Sussex countryside to build the Ouse Valley Viaduct and finds out what it's like to live in the cottage perched above the mouth of the Clayton Tunnel.
