BBC Top Gear (Series 17, Episode 4). Series 17 was first broadcast on BBC Two between June and July 2011.
* The Car train challenge *
This carefully stunt co-ordinated challenge was filmed on one of the UK's premier heritage preserved railways - 'The Great Central Railway' - running between Loughborough and Leicester. Using only an Audi A8 (4WD version), some tatty old caravans and a Jaguar XK converted to run on the standard gauge track, can the gang make UK train travel more luxurious and affordable once again for the masses? This episode is sometimes repeated on one of the 'UK TV' Freeview digital TV channels here in the UK.
