This Sunday on BBC Earth, join rail enthusiast and social media star Francis Bourgeois in The Travel Show: My Great Malaysian Railway Adventure as he embarks on his first-ever journey through Malaysia to uncover the country’s fascinating railway heritage. Known for inspiring a new generation of train spotters though his passion for trains, Francis explores how Malaysia has reinvented and restored the infrastructure left by the British and how train travel works in more demanding terrain.

Starting in Kuala Lumpur, Francis helps engineers to prepare the Great Leisure Heritage Train for its highly anticipated relaunch in June 2025, making it Malaysia’s only steam-powered service on the mainland. He then boards a revived luxury railway, Asia’s version of the Orient Express, to get an insider’s look at how fine dining is prepared in a kitchen smaller than a cupboard on the Eastern & Oriental Express.

Venturing deep into the Taman Negara rainforest, Francis also discovers how Malaysia’s train revival has aided in conservation efforts to protect the critically endangered Malayan Tiger while the Jungle Railway connects some of the most remote towns and villages in the country’s interior.

Don’t miss this captivating rail adventure across Malaysia on 30^th March, Sunday at 10:05am on BBC Earth, available on StarHub channel 407, Singtel channel 203 and BBC Player.
