Line to the Stars: Sixty Years of Filming at the Bluebell Railway

Published in partnership with the Bluebell Railway, this book celebrates the railway's many appearances on screen over the course of six decades. ''This 128-page softback book really is a very good volume, providing some background behind-the-scenes details of some classic pieces of television and film history. Recommended.'' From the very first filming contract in 1961 (The Innocents), the Bluebell Railway has hosted myriad film and TV stars over more than six decades. We have travelled the world, visited numerous different stations, both real and fictional, met a wide variety of characters and had many adventures along the way. This book explores that journey through a series of feature films, films for TV, classic TV detective dramas, factual/educational progs, commercials, pop videos and costume dramas. Tastes may have changed over the decades – and so have the way that films are made and the way we watch them. What hasn’t changed, even with the advent of CGI, is that when producers want historic trains within an historic setting, nothing seems to look quite as good as a real train in an authentic setting.Join us for the ride as you travel the Bluebell Railway – the line to the stars.
