London Euston to Cheddington (S05E06)
S05E06
As Michael Portillo embarks on the final segment of his journey from a notorious Manchester slum to the splendor of a Derbyshire ducal estate, he immerses himself in the sounds of Victorian England's mills and collieries, even joining a brass band in Honley. In Holmfirth, he uncovers a tragic event from the nineteenth century that spurred a surge in railway tourism. At Chesterfield, Michael pays tribute to George Stephenson, the pioneer of railways, before concluding his adventure in elegance at Chatsworth, one of the first grand homes to open its doors to rail travelers.
