John has been put forward for a promotion at work.

  • - Bóithre Iarainn

    8.00pm TG4

    This hugely popular series chronicling the story of Ireland's railways returns to our screens tonight with a new series. Bóithre Iarainn is a unique window into the life of ordinary Irish people in the first half of the 20th Century, from the delights of the dance trains to Bray on the Harcourt street line to the gruelling work of shovelling coal on the Cavan and Leitrim line, to the constant hum of the beet trains from Courtmacsherry in West Cork, the lifeblood of the countryside. Tonight's opening episode recalls the famous 'locked train' which travelled cross-border from Dundalk to Bundoran carrying a mixed bunch of honeymooners, smugglers and Lough Derg pilgrims.
