A little over 150 years ago, on 15 September 1830, a single gunshot sent eight trains off on a 30-mile journey from Liverpool to Manchester. This was opening day for the world's first passenger rail service.
Popular group Fivepenny Piece joined autumn celebrations at the oldest surviving passenger railway station - the Manchester Terminus of Stephenson's Great Railway Experiment.
Colin Welland tells the story and Fivepenny Piece sing the songs to celebrate The Birth of the Railway Age.

Born on a Welsh hill farm in the 30s, Trevor Powell spent many of his schooldays working at richer farms and trading in rabbits and poultry. When he was ten, a bad winter almost wiped out their small flock of sheep. His father, always prudent, became even more cautious. Trevor, on the other hand, grew up an easy-going man, ready to take a gamble with anything, seldom resting, seldom out of the saddle, one of nature's cowboys. The film was shot during the week of the spectacular summer round-up, when Trevor and his neighbours ride up from the valleys and bring down their huge flocks from the common ground of the mountain top.
