Every episode from the sixth series of the documentary which follows Michael Portillo as he travels around Europe and beyond, taking the 1913 pamphlet 'Bradshaw's Continental Railway Guide' as his guide. Produced by cartographer George Bradshaw, the pamphlet documents a number of railway journeys and the various towns and hamlets found along the way. With an eye to local cultures and traditions and the role each journey and the trains themselves played in the development of world history, Portillo revisits the locations described in the journal as he travels from Kiev to Odessa and Batumi to Baku and reflects on the changes a century has wrought.
