Description

"Tom Chesshyre is the consummate traveller, who makes you want to experience all his adventures and mishaps for yourself." - Christian Wolmar, author of British Rail: The Making and Breaking of Our TrainsFrom London via Paris, Naples, Nuremberg, the Swiss Alps, Budapest, Athens and into the furthest corners of Eastern Europe across Romania and Bulgaria, join Tom Chesshyre on his fascinating journey to Istanbul and backEver dreamt of dropping everything and adventuring cross-country to the edge of Asia?

That's just what rail enthusiast Tom Chesshyre did, hitting the tracks for a 4,570-mile adventure on 55 rides, shadowing the old Orient Express route. Interrailing was once the realm of young backpackers setting off to "find themselves" - and for many, it still is.

But it's also a joyful and eco-friendly twenty-first century adventure that's open to us all, no matter our age or agenda.

Dodging striking train drivers in Germany, getting stuck by the Bulgarian-Greek border, and negotiating tricky passport officials in Turkey is all part of the fun in this illuminating and meandering journey around Europe. Europe by rail awaits. The freedom of the lines awaits. Why not hop on board?
