An enjoyable programme today, thanks for the reminder BNM. I found Portillo's delivery better than the first series - I'm looking forward to catching the rest of the series, though what a shocker of a green jacket!

The combination of the pink striped shirt and the green jacket reminded me of a raspberry ripple and pistachio ice cream ! Was waiting for a 'crack' about the Brighton nudist beach when quoting from Bradshaw  |

An amusing first post, chuffed. I've not watched the episode yet, but I'll be sure to keep an eye out for Mr Portillo's sartorial (in)elegance.  In the mean time, may I extend a very warm welcome to the Coffee Shop Forum!  |

I have enjoyed this series so far. Last week certainly highlighted my need to revisit the North Wales lines again

And I thought much the same, electric train. My next ALR▸ will have to include another trip to North Wales, this time heading south to Blaenau and Porthmadog.

Might beat you to it bignosemac booked on the second UKRailtours tour to Bleanau and then through to Ceanarvon first trip on 18th March booked up very quickly lucky to get on the second on 25th. Unfortunately it's coaches from LLanduno Junction and Caernarvon. Anthoer reason for putting back Caenarvon to Bangor and another loop on the Bleanau line. Which they might need if the plan to ship all the waste slate out by rail goes ahead.
Not sure it's quite up to the Harz but almost.

Looks like the Beeb have listened to the pedants, continuity seems to be a lot better this series!

I've caught up as far as last Thursday and have enjoyed this series very much. Content has been much more interesting than the previous series (although that was also pretty good).
My only gripe is when Michael chats to the guards/conductors/TMs▸ about some attraction further down the line and they seem clueless about the history but just play along by answering his questions. Cringeworthy at times.

A little cringeworthy at times I agree. But no doubt when the BBC» get their filming clearances with the relevant TOCs▸ I'd hope that the on train staff are forewarned of the presence of Mr Portaloo and his camera crew!

"I've nothing against buses but its not the same as a train, is it?" Obviously didn't check the engineering works before setting out on a Sunday  |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

Hmmn, about 1:25 into today's episode and a train appears from a tunnel taillights blazing on the wrong road! Methinks someone without much railway knowledge has been in the editting suite making things look prettier!

Didn't we have this on the last series where the steam was being sucked back into the steam loco and the cars were travelling backwards? |
