About the book

Along the way, he discovers quirky stations, peculiar fellow passengers, and the joys of unhurried travel through France, Switzerland, and Italy. This is travel writing at its most charming and observant, celebrating the art of getting there rather than simply arriving. Chesshyre's wit and eye for detail bring to life the romance of European rail travel, proving that the journey itself can be just as rewarding as the destination. Perfect for armchair travellers and anyone who's ever dreamt of taking the slow route across the Continent.
