Format:Paperback
Lots of ideas on how to take trains and get to places. Have started to use it for travels, and am now taking much more civilised trips..... with the added bonus that you have no airport hassles, travel greener, take as much whisky and toothpaste as you like, and see the countryside! Read it and be inspired. It can work out just as cheap as air travel!

Format:Paperback
Absolutely everything you need to know about travelling by train in Europe - one of the most rewarding and under-rated experiences you can ever hope to have. Leave the budget airlines in the sky, pack an inter-rail pass, a Thomas Cook rail map, and a copy of Mark Smith's book; then climb aboard to explore a continent and its people on the rails.

Website far more comprehensive
I bought this book as I was planning to travel by rail over long distances across Europe and Asia. This book is ONLY about Europe, unlike the website which covers the world. Read more

Misleading cover picture and useless book
The cover of this book as shown on Amazon is incorrect and misleading, as is the title given for it. I ordered this book in preparation for an Interrail trip starting in Barcelona. Read more
