Description
BBC Two launched the documentary series Great Continental Railway Journeys on November 8, 2012. Michael Portillo travels through Europe and Asia using the 1913 British railway guide Bradshaw. The first season's routes pass through France, Austria-Hungary, Germany, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. The tone is nostalgic, educational, with an emphasis on historical details and picturesque landscapes. The format is seasonal, with each season including 5-6 journeys. If you enjoy Great Railway Journeys, Journeys to the Ends of the Earth, or documentary projects in the spirit of Michael Palin, Great Continental Railway Journeys will appeal to fans of slow, thoughtful tourism.
