The video explores the challenges faced by Britain's 150 heritage railway lines, focusing on rising costs, particularly coal, due to the Ukraine war.

Economic pressures have led to staff cuts and reliance on volunteers. Railways are adapting by enhancing visitor experiences and connecting to mainline services. The video concludes with a call to action for public support to ensure the survival of these historic railways.
