• (Great Railway Journeys of the World series) Michael Palin of Monty Python's Flying Circus is a railway enthusiast. As a boy he spent hours at Sheffield Midland Station train-spotting. Now he fulfills an enthusiast's dream--a journey from one end of Britain to the other--from Euston Station, London, to Kyle of Lochalsh in Scotland. His trip spans the development of the railway engine from a trip on the famous Flying Scotsman steam locomotive to a ride in the cab of British Rail's Inter-City 125.
