Description
There is one man in New Zealand still passionate enough about our rails and the country they roll through, to put words into action. A train buff himself, Marcus Lush heads OFF THE RAILS, venturing from Bluff in the south to Opua in the North, on a remarkable array of railways - coal, freight, steam, railcars, even a jigger or two!
Relive his fascinating and entertaining journey - hitching, hiking and catching a ride on the work beasts still plying the rail tracks. As well as learning about the richness of New Zealand's rail history, meet amazing people along the way, with some personal insights into New Zealand's history and some of our famous - and infamous - characters. You can also enjoy the spectacular scenery of New Zealand on this epic journey of discovery.
This is a compelling series for young and old alike!

"Great insight to how the railways made NZ"
A very well researched series that looked at not only the great railway legacy in New Zealand, but some of the people that made it great. Throughly recommended to anyone who likes rail transport or the history of modern New Zealand.
"Wow"
I never saw this when it aired on TV.
Have also never really been a fan of Marcus Lush, but this is one of the most
entertaining doco's I've seen, it has history in spades, humor, some pretty
amazing characters and surprisingly little about the actual trains, it has in my
opinion, a pretty far reaching appeal and also the wonderful advantage of not
having it spoilt by ads.
Great segment on the photo taking trainspotters in northland and their story of
how they met, plus Lush has a sense of humor I didn't know he possessed.
Highly recommended.
