Great British Railway Journeys | Series 3 Episode 1 | Great Yarmouth to Beccles

Great British Railway Journeys | Series 3 Episode 1 | Great Yarmouth to Beccles Michael Portillo takes to the tracks once more with his trusty George Bradshaw’s Victorian Railway Guidebook. In a new series of five epic journeys, he travels the length and breadth of the country to uncover how the railways transformed Britain—and to discover what of Bradshaw’s world still remains today. Beginning on the Great Eastern Line, which connects the far reaches of the Norfolk coast to the beating heart of the capital, Michael starts in Great Yarmouth, where he unearths a grisly tale of 19th-century grave robbing. At Reedham, he lends a hand at one of the few remaining manually operated swing bridges on the network, before taking to the skies to reveal how Bradshaw’s railway wisdom was put to use by RAF pilots in the Second World War.
