TRAIN TOUR

Great Indian Railway Journeys, 8pm, BBC2

MICHAEL PORTILLO is in the north of India this week, embarking on a route that was already a magnet for tourists at the time of Bradshaw’s 1913 Handbook Of Indian, Foreign And Colonial Travel — the so-called Golden Triangle tour of Jaipur, Agra and Delhi, as popular today as it was then. Along the way, he takes in the jewel in India’s crown, the Taj Mahal.
