Great Coastal Railway Journeys
Documentary29 min per episode
Michael Portillo travels the railways that trace Britain’s coast, moving from the sea lochs of Scotland to Dorset’s Jurassic Coast as he takes in the scenery, history, and character of each region. The former MP and transport minister rides coastal routes to look at how geography and geology have shaped communities by the water, with stops that bring him into conversation with residents proud of their local culture and traditions. Along the way, Portillo uses the railways’ vantage point to connect shoreline landscapes with the people who live beside them.
