Episode Overview
In the concluding segment of his exploration along the inaugural inter-city railway from London, Michael Portillo uncovers the legacy of a once-renowned poet in Nottingham. Continuing to Mansfield, he rides a line revived by public interest after being axed by Beeching's cuts. Next, in Worksop, he discovers the peculiar habits of an unusual Duke. Michael then arrives in Doncaster, a hub of railway production in the 1800s, where the efforts of rail workers significantly influenced British politics in the 20th century. His journey wraps up in Leeds, where he performs on stage at the UK's longest-running music hall, Venus and Venice of Variety.
