Yes, I remember it. I watched it for the first time a few years back. Miles was good. He got flustered when the guy in the ticket office was explaining what route he could go. He had the right voice for it and was s traditional British journalist. Not some z-list wannabe celebrity. I...

Thanks for that. I have never heard of that series. Will definitely check it out. It's a shame we can't find some of the people featured on Palins jorney i.e. the girl on the train serving him the coffee. I do wish the BBC would put up all the Great Railway Journeys. I really would like to see...

Thanks -- The part at: 37.20 - 37-41 is just stunning. Does anyone happen to know what the landmarks buildings are you see in this short clip and can anyone who is familar with the area post a screen pic of that area how it looks today? Thank you so much.

37.20 - 37-41 is simply stunning. So even for 1980 they would have taken a helicopter up there?

Yes, I was hoping they would show the episode poet "Ben Okri" did in 1994 from London to Arcadia in Greece. Itw as my second favourite to Michael Palins. I can't even find Ben's on Youtube

Hi, I have always loved this 1980 travelogue by Michael Palin, where he travels from Euston to Kyle of Lochalsh for the BBC's Great Railway Journeys of The World. I watched as a kid growing up and still watch it. I know this is a ridiculous and possibly stupid question but can anyone tell me...

Oh wow!!! -- A massive shout out and huge thanks to "Lowlevel" and "Darandio" for putting this piece of the puzzle together for me. I just looked and Acklington is 28 miles north of Newcastle, yet this segment has been added in when he was on the 125 from Darlington approaching Durham, way...

Hello everyone, Could someone help me out and tell me what the building is that Michael Palin passes on his way to Newcastle when he filmed his 1980 documentary Confessions of a Trainspotter. It's the building featured at 33.30 . It looks like he is approaching Durham, but I can't find this...

Correct. It must be in maroon colour. Many thanks Rich

Hi, I am looking for a Hornby City of London engine for my dad. I have a budget of £63. If anyone is interested in selling one can you send me a PM? Many thanks. Rich

Many thanks for the valuable info. I appreciate you taking the time to respond. Rich

Hi Guys, Can you help us out with a question? Like the city of London was The Dutchess of Sutherland also red when the number was prefixed with a 4 (46233). Many thanks. Rich

Thanks to everyone who has replied. It is much appreciated. Rich

Hi, Does anyone happen to know the current location of Oliver Cromwell? We have a few days off and would like to see it. Many thanks. Rich

Hi Ian, The DVD arrived!! I don't know what to say. I am so grateful to you and really appreciate your kindness. I enjoyed the episode and it looks almost identical to when Michael Palin visited in 1980. It's a shame the trains running on the Kyle line today don't seem as friendly as they did...

The North York Moors railway. R

Thanks Ian. You are the man. Rich

You are spot on. He went on the overnight sleeper to Inverness , then on to Kyle. If you happen to find it, can I buy a copy from you or can you upload it to YouTube? Micheal Palin's Great Railway Journey to the Kyle of Lochalsh that he did for the BBC in 1980 is one of my favourite...

Hi, Does anyone know which episode of Trainspotting presented by Mark Collins and mark Found features the trip to the Kyle of Lochalsh? I'm sure Mark Found takes the overnight train. I have kept an eye out on Sky but they seem to show every other episode except this one. I know it's an old...

Could these be painted in railblue with a full yellow face?
