The week before Christmas is the busiest time of the year on Britain's rail network; millions of passengers are ferried in and out of London, and for those lucky enough to pass through Paddington, Britain's last surviving railway band can be heard

It's the busiest weekend of the year on Britain's rail network, when millions of passengers are ferried in and out of London ahead of Christmas.

At Paddington Station, a small group of volunteers is helping bring festive cheer to the annual commuter crush.

They're part of Britain's last surviving railway band - a proud tradition which has been carried on for almost a century. 

Amongst the band is 96 year-old clarinet player Harry Susans.
