Join TV Presenter and Broadcaster Rylan on the ultimate Christmas commute! Tim Dunn gets special permission to take Rylan on a ride in the driver’s cab on a Central line Train, all the way from Oxford Circus to Epping. You may not know, but Rylan is a self-confessed Tube obsessive, and cannot hold back his excitement. He tells Tim about how he fell in love with the Tube in his childhood, the Tube station he's built in his garage, what the London Underground means to him and how it's shaped his life. Rylan and Tim get an incredible view of the tunnels and secrets you normally don't get to see from the driver's cab at the back of the train - and try not to push any buttons. The festive adventure, and Rylan's dream trip, continues when the pair board a vintage Routemaster bus, which takes them to a magical railway - and a very special Christmas steam train.

Thanks to the TfL staff, plus staff & volunteers of the Epping Ongar Railway - who helped us make this episode.
