New series starts today on BBC2
Lots of local interest in the first couple of episodes as Michael travels from Manchester to Birkenhead, visiting the Tram Museum and Port Sunlight. He then travels from Southport to Leyland..

Come off it , Manchester United is such an important football ground in North West England , also one of the few grounds in the country with direct access to the railway from it .
Somebody was thinking far ahead when they built the ground so close to the railway .

The producers also probably wanted something in the programme to be like a talking point , no matter which football team he would have gone to there would always opposing supporters against it .
