Passionate about trains, Michael PortiIIo charts the great British romance with the railways as he retraces four journeys that were first documented in the monthIy raiIway guide, Bradshaw's Handbook. He sees what's changed and discovers how our love of the railways all began.
This 4 disc DVD set features 20 episodes covering 4 different journeys:
LiverpooI to Scarborough
Preston to KirkcaIdy
Swindon to Penzance
Buxton to London
PortilIo makes stops en route to visit some of Britain's most beautifuI cities and hidden-away viIIages, meeting extraordinary peopIe and hearing stories of how their Iives have been shaped in some way by the raiIways.
Throughout these monumental journeys, PortiIIo expIores the secret ammunition factory at Gretna, sails the last steam boat on Lake Windermere, Iearns to taIk 'scouse' in Liverpool, takes a dip in Bath Spa, cooks a traditional curry in Birmingham, tries his hand at oyster fishing in CornwaIl and meets survivors of the Coventry Blitz. |
