Great Continental Railway Journeys

Michael Portillo's rail journey continues on the Bergen Line, heading towards the Norwegian capital of Oslo. Carving through the mountains across some of Europe's most inhospitable terrain, he passes glaciers, lakes, waterfalls and plateaux to reach northern Europe's highest station at 1,200 meters above sea level. He marvels at the feat of engineering required to build the line, which runs for 300 miles through more than 180 tunnels.
