This prestigious four part series is produced in association with the Transport Trust and SCANIA (GB) to celebrate The Centenary of British Transport and to recognise the efforts of those sometimes eccentric but magnificent Englishmen and Women who designed, built, salvaged and restored the historic Road, Rail, Sea and Air transportation that has become a rich part of our English heritage. Exclusive orginal footage of the restoration process as well as unique archive footage of the subjects in their heyday has been prepared and sourced with the assistance of the Trust.

An astonishing collection of transport legends are featured in these unique historical documentaries - from a War Time Wellington bomber which for half a century lay at the bottom of Loch Ness until raised from the depths and restored, to the Special Motor Launch designed and created by Lawrence of Arabia to save the lives of Allied servicemen. Each story builds into a fascinating tableau of the last one hundred years of 'moving' history and, as the story of these great relics is told, the series unlocks some forgotten secrets in design, technology and restoration.
