Series 9 sees Michael fast-track to the early 20th century to embark on a new series of railway journeys through Edwardian Britain. His new guidebook, published over a hundred years ago, will unlock Britain's railways at their zenith, when some 20,000 miles of track reached into every corner of the country. Michael will navigate a vibrant and optimistic Britain, at the height of its power and influence in the world but a nation wrestling with political, social and industrial unrest at home.
