Episode Overview
Michael Portillo embarks on the next segment of his northern adventure along Robert Stephenson's inaugural inter-city railway. In Bletchley, he encounters one of World War II’s most covert operatives, then uncovers a poet from Olney whose verses continue to resonate in song. His journey takes him to Wolverton, the first town designed specifically for railway workers. Concluding this leg of his travels in Newport Pagnell, Michael delves into the age-old art of crafting vellum.
