Anita Rani, Ade Adepitan, Ant Anstead and Dan Snow are in New York. From their base at Grand Central Terminal, they reveal the behind-the-scenes operations responsible for keeping the world's biggest railway terminal running to schedule. They join 5.5 million commuters on the iconic Staten Island ferry, the subway and citibikes.  We get a first glimpse of the new station beneath Grand Central, USA's biggest transport project.  Then head to Times Square, New York's most-visited place, to discover how the 230 LED advertising hoardings are maintained. And we reveal the secret world of lost property at the terminal, where 3,000 items, from phones to seven-foot long canoes, are handed in every month.
