Passionate about trains Michael Portillo charts the great British romance with the railways as he retraces four journeys that were first documented in the monthly railway guide Bradshaw's Handbook.

Portillo makes stops en route to visit some of Britain's most beautiful cities and hidden-away villages meeting extraordinary people and hearing stories of how their lives have been shaped in some way by the railways. Throughout these monumental journeys Portillo explores the secret ammunition factory at Gretna sails the last steam boat on Lake Windermere learns to talk 'scouse' in Liverpool takes a dip in Bath Spa cooks a traditional curry in Birmingham tries his hand at oyster fishing in Cornwall and meets survivors of the Coventry Blitz.
