Discover the world's most iconic train journeys and soak up the geography, heritage, and quiet luxury that makes each unique. Spanning six continents, the journeys range from epic, multi-day odysseys to delightful local rides to capture the simple joys of rail travel. Each journey is brought to life with:
- Commissioned illustrations that evoke the spirit of each route.
- An exploration of the cultural and historical significance of the trains, tracks, and stations.
- Highlights to watch for along the way, from architectural gems and engineering feats to natural wonders and stunning landscapes.
Travel through the snow-covered peaks of Switzerland, the vast deserts of Australia, the lush valleys of Japan, and the dramatic coastlines of Norway. Encounter tales of lions in Kenya, elephants on Namibian tracks, and wartime escapes in the Alps. Whether it's the Ghan, the Glacier Express, or the Settle & Carlisle, each route invites readers to experience the world from the window of a train. Perfect for armchair travellers, train enthusiasts, and lovers of slow travel, Great Rail Journeys is a giftable tribute to the enduring magic of railways. It's a book to inspire your next adventure, or simply to enjoy the ride.
