* 'A glorious insight into Britain over the last 150 years -- its history, landscape and people -- from the window of Britain's many and magnificent railway journeys [!] It fills in the gaps, gives you more insight, takes you further, as it were. Charlie Bunce's words are the perfect compliment to Portillo's commentaries, and the entire book is a delight to read. The original photography is stunning, while the historical photographs are simply fascinating. All in all, this is a book no serious history student of this period can afford to be without. It's for armchair travellers, yes indeed, but it's much more valuable than that.' -- Books Monthly's Nonfiction Choice for February * A 'delightful pictorial travelogue' -- Annabel Ford, Cox & Kings * 'A colourful insight into Britain over the last 150 years' -- National Geographic Traveller
