Historian and railway nut Tim Dunn smartens himself up with a jacket and tie, packs his wheelie suitcase and trundles off to the seaside, to Morecambe and its splendid Art Deco Midland Hotel.
It’s a sumptuous place, though like many railway hotels it’s had a difficult past, falling into dereliction before being rescued from oblivion by investors in a £10m renovation project, re-opening in 2008.
More prosaically Dunn visits Huddersfield, where he climbs an unprepossessing set of stairs to take a look behind its station clock. “This is a real treat… I’m fascinated by clocks.”
And in Cologne we hear why a curious trend involving padlocks clipped to its railings makes the Hohenzollern Bridge vibrate.
