In Episode 4 of Life On Rails we hear how two weeks’ work experience was the start of a lifetime career in the railway for Sarah Swanston, one of Greater Anglia’s first female drivers. ITV Anglia’s David Whiteley talks about rivalry between him and his wife, BBC Look East’s Amelia Reynolds and describes his dream day on the North Norfolk coast. Presenters Juliette Maxam and Lucy Wright also find out there was more to getting new trains than just the trains themselves and give top tips on the best way to get a seat on a busy train. Finally, resident fares guru Ken Strong explains how to buy a cheap ticket online.
