Last Call for the Dining Car: The Telegraph Book of Great Railway Journeys: The Daily Telegraph Book of Great Railway Journeys (Telegraph Books) - Softcover
Buch 1 von 16: Telegraph Books
Inhaltsangabe
From Michael Palin to Nicholas Crane, a riveting anthology of railway travel covers every kind of train from the luxurious Orient Express to the insanely crowded commuter trains of Bombay
In an age when low-cost airlines have reduced travel to a point-to-point aerial bus service, the train can still take travelers on a genuine journey, nosing through sweeping valleys, across vertiginous viaducts, and stopping at tiny halts in the middle of nowhere in the dead of night. For better or worse, it brings along its own shotgun traveling community: the delightful breakfast companions chance-met in the dining car or the crazy loner with whom one faces the prospect of sharing a sleeper compartment across the Urals. Here, Michael Kerr has gone through the archives to compile a riveting anthology of all the best railway travel that has appeared in the Daily Telegraph. Here are epic forays from Wick in northernmost Scotland all the way to Vladivostok, Moscow to Peking, and on the Sunset Express across the United States to California. Historic events such as the last day of steam in Britain and less momentous but equally emblematic experiences such as the signal failure in the Midlands are also highlighted. By turns hilarious and alarming, this is armchair travel at its very best and the perfect book indeed for a long train journey.

Verkäuferbewertung 3 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 338 pages. Ever since Paul Theroux embarked in London on the first train of his Great Ra ilway Bazaar, railways have been a rich source for the best travel writing. Thi s is truer than ever in the twenty-first century. As the environmental implicati ons of relentless air travel cast an ominous shadow over the prospect of foreign adventure, the opportunity to jump on a train at St Pancras and be whisked stra ight to the continent offers a wonderful alternative. Train travel has assumed a new pragmatic importance as well as romance - which is no doubt why so many mor e tour companies are offering a great train ride as part of their holiday itiner aries. Now, Michael Kerr, the Telegraph's deputy Travel Editor, has burrowed de ep in the newspaper's archives and collected together the very best of its writi ngs about the railway: here are journeys non-stop from London to Vladivostok; ac ross the Canadian Rockies; the first train to traverse Australia from Darwin to Alice Springs; and on the teeming, crawling, travelling adventure of Indian rail ways. In scenes much more familiar to the British commuter, Boris Johnson discov ers his inner McEnroe thanks to signal failure in the Midlands, and Michael Pali n samples the delights of British Rail Inter-City. This is an anthology that wi ll appeal to the railway buff and the armchair traveller alike; to anyone who ha s ever Inter-railed in their youth and everyone nostalgic for the days when the only way to cross a continent was by train.
