Channel 4 aired a nice programme on the Bernina Express tonight.

It’s available to stream here (if you’re outside the UK, you might need a VPN).

VPN needed indeed. Thanks for the heads up.

I saw this last Christmas and it’s a really nice program if you want some easy watching after Christmas lunch. Beautiful scenery with the red train travelling through the snowy mountains.

Channel 4 (UK) broadcast a similar program yesterday, Nordic Train at Christmas, covering the Bergensbanen train between Bergen and Oslo. It seems to be a normal passenger train, less touristic than the Bernina Express and the scenery is more wild and dramatic.

Thanks for the heads-up ​@Alison S . I’ll watch that tonight.

I posted a trip report from my journey on the Bergensbanen (and Norway in a Nutshell route) which I did this summer.
