The book describes over 90 outstanding railway journeys, experienced first hand by a team of expert writers.

For luxury and romanc there is nothing to match the Orient Express, the Blue Train fro Cape Town to Pretoria or the wonderfully nostalgic 'Palace on wheels in Rajasthan. The book will whet appetites of rail enthusiasts everywhere.
