DVDs and BluRay
Armed with a 1936 edition of Bradshaw's Handbook, Michael Portillo takes to the tracks to navigate the golden age of rail travel, when glamorous locomotives travelled at world-record speed through a discernibly modern era of mass consumption. As Art Deco cinemas and dance halls entertained millions, industrial Britain was thrown into unemployment and poverty as storm clouds gathered across the Channel. Features 25 episodes covering 5 different journeys: Oxford to Winchester; Saxmudham to Walsingham; Crewe to Newtown; Biggin Hill to Leeds Castle, Kent; Chislehurst to Westminster.
