Great British Railway Journeys is a BBC documentary series presented by Michael Portillo, a former Conservative MP and Cabinet Minister who was instrumental in saving the Settle to Carlisle line from closure in 1989.[1][2] The programme was first broadcast in 2010 on BBC Two and has returned annually for a total of 11 series.
The series features Portillo travelling around the railway networks of Great Britain, Ireland and the Isle of Man, referring to Bradshaw’s Guide and comparing how the various destinations have changed since; initially, he used an 1840s copy, but in later series he used other editions.[3][4][5]
Portillo has also presented 7 other programmes with a similar format: Great Continental Railway Journeys (6 series; 2012–2018), Great American Railroad Journeys (4 series; 2016–2020), Great Indian Railway Journeys (2018), Great Alaskan Railroad Journeys and Great Canadian Railway Journeys (broadcast consecutively in January 2019), Great Australian Railway Journeys (2019) and Great Asian Railway Journeys (2020).
