Great Continental Railway Journeys (2012)

Great Continental Railway Journeys

Michael Portillo embarks on a nostalgic railway adventure, which takes him across the heart of Europe. Steered by his 1913 'Bradshaw's Continental Railway Guide', Michael journeys through a prosperous pre-war Europe of emperors and kings, pomp and elegance. A continent whose industrialists, factories and mines had created wealth, whose scientists and engineers were discovering and constructing the marvellous and whose artists were challenging old ways, whilst intellectuals plotted revolution.
