A GLORIOUS INSIGHT INTO THE HISTORY, LANDSCAPE AND PEOPLE OF BRITAIN FROM THE WINDOW OF BRITAIN'S MANY AND MAGNIFICENT RAILWAY JOURNEYS.

Over nine well-known railway lines, Charlie Bunce and Michael Portillo discover the incredible impact the railways had on Victorian Britain and are struck by their lasting legacy today. The railway
