Review of 'Night Trains' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

A book for train geeks by an unashamed train geek. No, nothing happens in any of the narratives, yes there are long descriptions of the changing colours and interior decor of European trains over the 20th century. However, anyone lucky enough to have travelled on one of the fast disappearing European night trains will find themselves with a better understanding of the place of these routes in history and a realisation of their own place amongst the generations of train travellers.

My only disappointment was that the author was so quick to fly back from all his adventures having got me so stoked about overland travel!
