Came across this site today, amazing amount of info on train services
all over the world. May be handy if you want to combine a tour/train
holiday at home or abroad. Also includes ferries and loads of other
travel info.

No - I have nothing what so ever to do with this site!

The "man in seat 61" is a legend in railway travel circles.

Well worth reading if planning train travel over the channel.

(Seat 61 comes from the seat he'd always reserve on Eurostar first class).

I love that site; the author is both interesting, helpful and inspiring.

It was thanks to seat61 that my daughters got an overseas holiday. I
hate air travel on environmental and boredom grounds so Cherbourg was
about as much as abroad had to offer us. Seat61's accounts of
international rail travel inspired me to kit the family out with
passports and go to Montpellier last summer.

This year we've pencilled in Marrakech by rail.
