Series 15: 5. Wokingham to Heathrow
Michael begins the final leg of his journey at the Transport Research Laboratory in Wokingham, where they have been keeping Britain’s roads safe for 90 years. From Reading, Michael boards a new Elizabeth Line train to Southall, where he visits the largest gurdwara outside India.\n\nContinuing on the Elizabeth Line to Heathrow Airport, Michael hears how it began as a private aerodrome. He is given special access to an enormous concrete box beneath Terminal 5, takes an eerie walk around the mothballed Terminal 1 building and ends his tour atop the iconic 87.5 metre control tower.
