Greatest British Railway Journeys

Michael Portillo and the BBC

It’s over a decade since Michael Portillo’s BBC2 series “Great British Railway Journeys” began, with the presenter using “Bradshaw’s Handbook” to determine which train routes he would go on.

In 11 series, Michael covered a lot of ground, and this book celebrates the top 50 routes from the show, from Paddington Station to the Clifton Suspension Bridge.
