London, May, 17 (CNA) A British television series will feature a railway journey around Taiwan in an upcoming episode that will showcase the country s scenery and interesting sites.
The British free-to-air television network Channel 5 documentary series The World s Most Scenic Railway Journeys is scheduled to air the series second episode of season four on May 21 at 9 p.m. U.K. time, the Taiwan Tourism Bureau said in a statement.
Taiwan is the first East Asian destination to be featured by the popular program, which is narrated by veteran British actor Bill Nighy as he travels through a country by rail and makes stops at places of interest.
AS the country starts to reopen following a forced shut-down, it is full stead ahead for two historic engines which will be heading through Yorkshire each week between May and September. “Scots Guardsman”, Number 46115, is set to pull both the Dalesman and Pendle Dalesman excursions over the spectacular Settle-Carlisle line, regularly voted one of the greatest railway journeys in the world. And “Galatea”, Number 45699, will haul the Scarborough Spa Express through York to the East Coast seaside resort. Coupled up behind each of the heritage locomotives will be West Coast Railway’s carefully renovated vintage railway carriages which date back to the old British Rail days of the 1950s.
