The Story of Transport

Each title in The Story of… series features a stunning visual sequence in which the same viewpoint is held over time — sometimes minutes or hours, sometimes thousands of years — while the events unfold dramatically before our eyes. History is brought to life as never before. You can follow the story of a castle, the life of a dinosaur, a famous volcanic eruption, the events during an earthquake — and more.

Find out about the story of transport on land, at sea and in the air. You can witness a Roman road being built, watch sailing ships arrive at a quayside and see the first steam locomotives and motor cars in action. Then fast forward to the busy airports, motorways and container ports of today.
