Five films exploring narrow-gauge railways. 4: Slow Train to Olympia Written and narrated by Michael Wood
Travelling the little lines of the Peloponnese, local passengers rub shoulders with the rucksacks of young tourists who have come to gaze at the glory of Ancient Greece. But as the blue and gold rail car climbs into the mountains, the train is transformed as it stops in villages like Khranoi, where the line doubles as main street and centre of the community.
