It is now over a decade since the much-loved Great British Railway
Journeys series set off on its incredible run discovering the
cultural, social and engineering landscape of the United Kingdom
through the prism of George Bradshaw's Handbook to rail travel.
Veteran politician and ex cabinet minister Michael Portillo has
since presented eleven seasons of this ever-popular show on BBC
Two, covering every part of the existing train network in Britain,
as well as others that were closed as a result of the Beeching
Report in 1963. Across a decade of these journeys, Portillo has
celebrated how every corner of England, Scotland, Wales and
Northern Ireland was opened up by the railway line as a result of
the Industrial Revolution, thus giving fans a unique insight into
our shared past of train travel since the Victorian era. With the
anniversary, this new collection will celebrate Michael's top fifty
journeys from the hundreds he has covered, adding more insight and
analysis to some of the greatest railway lines, stations, bridges,
viaducts and tunnels the Victorians built to create the world we
now live in. From Paddington Station to the Clifton Suspension
Bridge; the Southend Pier line to the milk wagons departing from
Blake Hall Station. An unrivalled narrative to be treasured.
Greatest British Railway Journeys is both a celebratory and
charming ride through our country's beloved history - all from the
unique position of a train seat.
