6 x 50 minute episodes

What better way to see the world than from a luxury train? From the high mountain ruins of Machu Pichu to the sparkling spring tides of the Venice lagoon our new series brings you the sights and sounds of some of the worlds most remarkable train journeys. We’ll be travelling overnight in Bogardesque style from Paris through the cool Pyrenees mountains to the heat of Madrid, heading East out of Venice for a candlelit dinner en route to the mysterious old city of Budapest, spiralling up the steep corkscrew track from the north Indian plains to the tea capital of the World – Darjeeling, nestling in the foothills of Mount Everest and heading out across the Australian outback on the worlds most recently built railway linking Darwin to Alice Springs. Take an unhurried look at six more routes that combine 21st century luxury with centuries of revealing History. Filmed using the latest Hi-definition cameras and technology this is a close as you can get to being there!
