RedRich Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I have it on VHS, that's how long ago it was first broadcast. Dick Warner also did a series on the canals. Lot's of the series was reused for Irish Railways in the 21st century even the commentary. Thanks for uploading it Seamus it is well worth a watch.

minister_for_hardship Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 ITL was certainly better than RTE's more recent offerings of a railway nature. The theme tune sung by the late Ronnie Drew with just about every railway cliche in the world was the one thing that stuck in my craw.
