The third series of the BBC documentary following Michael Portillo
as he travels around Europe and the wider world taking as his guide
the 1913 pamphlet 'Bradshaw's Continental Railway Guide'. Produced
by cartographer George Bradshaw, the pamphlet documents a number of
railway journeys and the various towns and hamlets along the way.
With an eye to local cultures and traditions and the role each
journey and the trains themselves played in the development of
world history, Portillo revisits the locations described in the
journal and reflects on the changes a century has wrought. The
episodes are: 'Tula to St. Petersburg', 'Rome to Taormina', 'Warsaw
to Krakow', 'La Coruna to Lisbon', 'Haifa to the Negev Desert' and
'Lyon to Marseille'.
