Last summer, as part of the George Fox 400th anniversary celebrations, we welcomed Michael Portillo to film here at Swarthmoor for his next Great British Railway Journeys series. We’ve just had word that the episode that we contributed to, from St Bees to Grange-over-Sands, is due to be broadcast on Tuesday 15 April 2025 on BBC Two at 6.30pm. Tune in and have look!
