Great Continental Railway Journeys is a British television documentary series presented by Michael Portillo.[1] In the early series, Portillo explores the railway networks of continental Europe, but in later series he also ventured further afield. He refers to a 1913 copy of Bradshaw's Continental Railway Guide, as he describes how the places he visits have changed since Edwardian times. The first series was originally broadcast on BBC Two in 2012, and the seventh and final series was first aired in 2020.
