As someone who spent three weeks in 2019 travelling Europe by train, this was a brilliant book. I can totally relate to Tom’s identification of trains as such a satisfying and enjoyable mode of transport because of their more calm and sedentary nature, how they expose you to the beauties of the areas which you travel through, and how they can be so much more sociable than air travel. This book was particularly enjoyable for me because of their focus on the more abstract nature of rail travel, rather than any too specific detail on railways and trains. A lovely and relaxed travelogue, well-written and well-described, that is perfect for anyone who has enjoyed rail travel and understands its advantages and the unique perspective it offers on the world. Probably not for someone looking for a trainspotter’s bible, but very good for someone who likes to take the train.
