1:00:00Staff have little time to prepare for a flying visit from Prince Harry. The team work against the clock to realign a buckled rail that is threatening to disrupt the timetable.
1:00:00The Welsh football team receive the VIP treatment as they travel to Paddington for a friendly with England. Storm Alex hits the network hard, and the just-completed sea wall at Dawlish faces it's toughest test yet.
1:00:00Life at one of the UK's busiest transport hubs, and the western rail network it serves. Out on track, maintenance work is underway on England's longest railway tunnel and Slough station is evacuated after a suspicious package is found.
1:00:00A major track circuit failure results in one of Paddington's busiest platforms having to close. A 200-year-old tunnel needs complex maintenance work.
1:00:00A passenger, who has dropped their overnight bag on the tracks, threatens to jump on the live rail to retrieve it. A major power failure causes signal problems, including on the main line into Paddington.
