Great Coastal Railway Journeys

Douglas to Port Erin

Michael Portillo embarks on a new railway adventure beyond the United Kingdom beginning on the self-governing Isle of Man - a paradise for rail lovers. His first stop on the wonderful Manx Electric Railway is the capital, Douglas, where he discovers the island's Parliament, the Tynwald, is older than Westminster. Michael hears from its president how the three chambers of the legislature work and admires the twelfth-century Sword of State.
