It would be nice if the BBC would re-run the series.
I discovered it late, and despite feeling triumphant on finding the showing of Episode 1 on BBC Ireland, no more have followed.
Do I detect a DVD set on the way, or am I being (over) cynical………..?

Although a programme was made by the late Sir John Betjeman in 1973 entilted Metroland, it would be more than relevant and interesting for Michael to revisit life and living in Metroland. The journey from Aldgate through to stations beyond Aylesbury would be of interest to many people.

As one who took part in one of the episodes, forgive me if I appear biased! Here are a three suggestions to include in a new series.
1. The Wrexham to Bidston line runs through a mixture of fine countryside and former industrial areas along the NE Wales border then along the Wirral side of the Dee estuary. Once closed by Beeching for passenger use, but fortunately now revived. Lots of fascinating history along the route.
2. Two trains a day run between Shrewsbury and Swansea via Llandridnod Wells through the heart of Wales. Stunning scenery through remote countryside.
3. A new one I like. Marylebone to Wrexham, a great alternative route without going dizzy from trying to look out of the window. A gentle plod through the Chilterns and an intersting detour around Birmingham in renovated comfortable coaches. Not everyone wants to travel at the speed of light.

I agree: I would love to own the series on Blu Ray.

I look forward to the second series – and the book(s).

Loved the series, how about West Wales the 125 from London to Fishguard and not forgetting pretty Tenby. Lots of history down this way.
