This programme is on t.v. Mon - Fri 6.30pm on BBC2 with Michael Portillo. Last Thursday he was arriving at Dudley Port, visiting the Black Country Living Museum, going in to Stourbridge and visiting the Red House Cone, Wordsley.
I know the woman he was talking to at the BCLM and Dr Paul Collins at the Red House Cone.
If you haven't been watching this series it's really good as he also visits Kidderminster - Bridgnorth.

Re: Great British Railway Journeys
Just watched it,and it was lovely to see the Black Country Museum,which always reminds me of home .When I tell my husband of my childhood he always thinks i was born in the 1930's the way I go on , but the Streets i played in were just like the streets in the museum. I loved the journey on the trains. My husband had never been on a steam train ,(unlike me who had caught many steam trains from Handsworth and Smethwick Station ,at the bottom of Chrocketts Lane on school trips). We went to the seven Valley Railway for his birthday , and he was like a big kid ,he loved it so much. 

It's easy to stand with the crowd . It takes courage to stand alone
