Quote Michael Portillo will celebrate the 200th anniversary of British railways with a special programme on the BBC. The opening of the Stockton and Darlington Railway on September 27 1825 is credited as being the birth of the modern railway, and north-east England is set to be one place Portillo will travel to for the new programme. The former Tory government minister turned broadcaster, 71, has presented Great British Railway Journeys since 2010, with the last series in 2024. His spin-off programme, Great Continental Railway Journeys, last aired in 2020, after beginning in 2012. Both shows will also be back this year, along with the two-part series: 200 Years Of The Railways.
