Great British Railway Journeys | Series 11 Episode 10: Taunton to Salisbury Plain

The eternally popular and entertaining Great British Railway Journeys, starts in Britain’s picturesque West Country.

With a trusty Bradshaw’s handbook as his guide, Michael takes us back to the 1930s to explore a golden age of rail travel and a time of great social change – all played out in the shadow of the looming war.

We learn how the railways helped make St Ives a unique artists’ centre, how they inspired Agatha Christie and how a station bookstall in Exeter gave rise to a publishing empire. We also visit an early lido and explore the modernist architecture at Burgh Island.

Packed with stunning scenery and interesting people, this series sheds new light on a fascinating time in British history, as told through the prism of the railways.
