Great Asian Railway Journeys s01e11 - Jakarta to Bogor

In the heaving city of Jakarta, Michael uncovers Indonesia’s Dutch colonial past and its rich history as a port, but discovers that the future is uncertain.

Michael Portillo is in south east Asia, armed with his 1913 Bradshaw’s Handbook. It leads him on a spectacular 2,500-mile railway adventure across six countries. Michael explores towering megacities and magnificent mosques, visits jewelled temples and golden Buddhas and rides some of the world’s most exhilarating and notorious railways.
