Queen's Baton Relay: Taking a train ride in Sri Lanka

The Viceroy Special steam train, built in Manchester, runs from the capital Colombo to Kandy on the historic tea route across the country.

Presenter Mark Beaumont meets train enthusiast Hemasiri Fernando to find out more about life on the rails.
