Great British Railway Journeys
AudienceAudience: 8.0
Michael Portillo takes to the tracks with a copy of George Bradshaw's Victorian Railway Guidebook. Portillo travels the length and breadth of the country to see how the railways changed us, and what of Bradshaw's Britain remains.
My takeA charming docuseries where presenter Michael Portillo explores Britain's railway heritage and landscape through vintage train journeys, discovering the history and culture of regions along iconic routes. The show combines nostalgia with gentle education, inviting viewers to see familiar British scenery through fresh eyes.
