Frequently bought together:

Through 50 rail travel stories, this book presents journeys to plan across five continents. Lasting a few hours, a weekend or several weeks, the authors' experiences and reflections inspire readers to try this increasingly popular way to travel.

Board South Africa's Blue Train or India's Maharajas' Express; cross the United States or Australia from end to end; travel from Bangkok to Singapore or from Slovenia to Italy; glimpse Mount Fuji from a Shinkansen; enjoy a cup of maté or a curry aboard the luxurious Eastern & Oriental Express; and explore city centres, monuments and museums near stations.

Because the journey is part of the experience, the book highlights different types of trains: basic, luxurious or exceptional, rooted in history or boldly futuristic, with reclining seats or panoramic carriages.

Each account includes practical information:

  • A detailed route map.
  • Journey distance and duration.
  • Booking arrangements and the subtleties of ticket categories.
  • The ideal season to travel.

Each of the 50 stories is accompanied by three further rail routes in the same region or on a similar theme, providing 150 additional journey ideas.
