Great British Railway Journeys: Season 13 Episode 3

Episode 3

Michael Portillo follows his 1930s Bradshaw's Guide to the unspoiled east Sussex Cinque Port of Rye, where, on the windswept harbour beach, he hears how, in 1928, a generation of lifeboatmen lost their lives in a tragic rescue attempt at sea. Michael visits the town's modern day lifeboat station to see how the RNLI's brave crews train today.
