Great Coastal Railway Journeys
Ulverston to Ravenglass
Michael Portillo is in Cumbria, enjoying one of the most spectacular coastal railway journeys in Britain, crossing the broad estuary of the River Leven by rail on a viaduct practically a third of a mile long. His first stop is Ulverston, gateway to the Lake District, where adventure is in store on the waters of Windermere. From a waterside camp, Michael sets sail in a small craft with a lifelong devotee of Arthur Ransome's children's books, Swallows and Amazons. At Barrow-in-Furness, Michael investigates the mountains of scrap left behind as iron ore was turned into ships, trains and railway tracks. He discovers researchers are exploring how slagbanks could contribute to reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide.
