PICK OF THE DAY

THE WORLD’S MOST SCENIC RAILWAY JOURNEYS, 9PM, CH5

ALL aboard for a new series of the most unforgettable train rides through some of the most spectacular scenery on Earth, soothingly narrated, as always, by that old smoothie Bill Nighy. The first episode takes us on a historic voyage across New Zealand’s spectacular South Island, where we travel on the great trains of Dunedin Railways — the Inlander and the Seasider. One of the highlights of the trip is the harbour town of Port Chalmers, which was Scott of the Antarctic’s last stop before his ill-fated trip to the South Pole.
